InfoAmazonia provides timely news and reports of the endangered Amazon region. The site presents the latest news articles on a map above the fold. News can be browsed in Portuguese, Spanish, and English, reflecting the fact that the Amazon spreads across nine South American countries and is of global interest. The map presents all articles on InfoAmazonia, and selecting a story opens it in the sidebar. The map offers three layers to add critical context to the story, with high resolution geographic data on cities, roads, infrastructure, deforestation, forest fires, oil wells, and mining concessions. News can be filtered by the main contributor sources involved in InfoAmazonia and by news submitted by readers.
