Here are some of my favorite examples:<br /> <br />   <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfffG-1Umd-ONzlV4EPkXBnJiF4QJUrojxTzOezqHCtf_wq-zHft3dKpHWCI9cEvgO1PxFzaWzjXtqbEuRNDWIbZGKTiDeIY4h2jQSEN8s6pYZpuSwM6nUXjZgvxyGn6vsYmbNy0vjThID/s1600/1zpqaJpklvfOt6DPOheWxf5lHJlT0qmaL_OU0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfffG-1Umd-ONzlV4EPkXBnJiF4QJUrojxTzOezqHCtf_wq-zHft3dKpHWCI9cEvgO1PxFzaWzjXtqbEuRNDWIbZGKTiDeIY4h2jQSEN8s6pYZpuSwM6nUXjZgvxyGn6vsYmbNy0vjThID/s320/1zpqaJpklvfOt6DPOheWxf5lHJlT0qmaL_OU0.jpg" width="500" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <i>WWF & Eyes on the Forest mapped deforestation rates and wildlife habitat in Sumatra.</i><br /> <i><br /></i></div> <a href="http://maps.eyesontheforest.or.id/" target="_blank">WWF & Eyes on the Forest</a> created a map to showcase deforestation in Sumatra.
