About Guiana Gold Mining Watch
The Guiana Shield, encompassing Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana, is part of the Amazon biome and holds the largest remaining tracts of relatively undisturbed rainforest in the world. Yet, the region is being severely impacted by uncontrolled gold mining activity, especially artisanal and small-scale mining. In French Guiana, there is virtually no official information about the extent of the problem. Help us to analyse satellite imagery to detect and prevent illegal gold mining activities in the region.
This project is a part of the ESA Crowd4Sat initiative.
