This project originated about two years ago with this amazing idea to bring Street View
0:07
technology to the Amazon as a way to bring people who are online all over
0:13
the world to the Amazon to see the beauty of the forests and the beauty
0:17
of the river for themselves.
0:20
We've decided to start
0:21
at the Rio Negro Sustainable Development Reserve.
0:24
Where we'll collect images from the river,
0:27
and then, collect images
0:29
from the community and its surrounding area.
0:31
We intend to get images
0:34
from some tracks in the forest, to represent
0:37
a bit of the community's daily life.

The Street View Trike is a vehicle developed by Google
0:44
that uses the cameras that collect Street View images
0:50
And they've adapted it on top of a tricycle
0:53
so that the vehicle can collect images where cars can't go.

We are training employees of the Amazonas Sustainable Foundation
1:05
as well as local community members and will be leaving the equipment with them
1:09
so that they can continue to share their point of view with
1:11
the world and continue to collect data that they would like to see online as well.

Google has an amazing

and all of its beauty to the global
1:25
through Google Maps and Google Earth
1:27
and this is one amazing proj
