"We do not need magic to transform our world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already; we have the power to imagine better."
"Imagination is…the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not, and therefore the fount
of all invention and innovation.”
"In its arguably most transformative and revelatory capacity; it is the power that
enables us to empathize with humans whose experiences we have never shared.”
J.K. Rowling, Harvard University, June 2008

This KML presents a geographical account of the planet's disappearing forests. By using polygons to represent rates of
deforestation, the data can be quickly and easily communicated. Country profiles are also included, providing high quality, accessible information included as pops ups in the pie chart balloons - be sure
to check out the live hectare counter in these placemarks!
