Interactive #LightPollution Map (lightpollutionmap.info) allows us to track the amount of light every year captured by satellites.

Maps are created using average monthly light emissions.

#OverFishing is a highly debated topic.
What happens in #OpenWaters is difficult to monitor.
Yet, here you clearly see the #LightPollution (likely many⛴️) JUST outside the #TerritorialWaters of #Ecuador and #Peru in 2019

#YasuniITT was an issue of debate in #Ecuador from 2010 to 2015 that would have preserved #Biodiversity in the ITT block of #YasuniNationalPark.

In 2013, it was abandoned and #OilAndGas companies began #OilExtraction there in 2016.

You can see their rapid progress...

This is a zoomed-out view of light pollution across #YasuniNationalPark in the same timeframe.

The dots towards the right of the GIF correspond with the location of the ITT Block.

Even though these are very depressing images of how quickly we are #DestroyingNature, tools and technologies like these with #SatelliteImages and #RemoteSensing allow us to better track illegal activities and help promote #Conservation.

Esta es una vista ampliada de la contaminación lumínica en el #PaqueNacionalYasuní en el mismo período de tiempo.

Los puntos a la derecha del GIF se corresponden con la ubicación del Bloque ITT.

Aunque estas son imágenes muy deprimentes del daño que hacemos, herramientas y tecnologías como estas con #ImágenesSatelitales y #RemoteSensing nos permiten rastrear de mejor las actividades #ilegales y ayudar a promover la #Conservación.
