GIS data on urban deforestation
Doug Ragan ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) from the Environmental Youth Alliance sent me this request. Please respond directly to him. We have started a project on urban forests and climate change called Winds of Change (www.eya.ca/winds). One idea we have is to create a slideshow that represents the loss of urban forests for the last fifty years. We are needing to get some GIS data on this - do you happen to know who or where I might be able to access this - or who I could talk with?
