Řečtí lesníci využívají Google Earth v boji proti ilegálním stavbám
Forestry authorities have started using old Internet satellite photographs to protect forestland from illegal construction, according to the forest ranger for Pyrgos, in the Peloponnese, which was badly ravaged in the wildfires of 2007 that killed more than 70 people.
“We are using Google Earth photos from before the fires as a reference point to avert all forms of illegal exploitation of land,” Thomopoulos said .. “It is much more practical than traditional aerial photographs, as we have the precise geographical coordinates, which we can compare with our measurements on the ground,” told to the foreign press. He added that there had been “far fewer attempts” at illegal construction on fire-ravaged land.
