[FOSS4G2016] Global Forest Watch project

[Guido Stein]

I don't know about them, but the site makes them look interesting. As
someone interested in the cacao industry (ask me about it sometime) I find
it wonderful to have more resources and data about vegetation.

For me this organization checks the Open, Interesting, Geographic
Awareness, and Social boxes and hence would be a group I would like to hear
at FOSS4G.

Just my 2c
