Description: The Logging Roads (http://loggingroads.org/) initiative, launched by Moabi and Global Forest Watch, uses crowdsourcing and tools developed by OpenStreetMap and the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) to identify and monitor the spread of logging roads in the Congo Basin. Volunteers use satellite imagery to trace roads and identify the date the road appears. WARNING: Data is still incomplete - not all roads have been tagged yet.
