Mapping cloud forests allows you to view, edit and add to a database of cloud forest points.

To use:
1. Click the link to the Google Earth desktop version and open the KML file that downloads into Google Earth.  If you do not have Google Earth installed then download and install from earth.google.com.  Once loaded into Google Earth you will see parks in green and tree cover loss in red. Zoom in by dragging the map and using the zoom slider (top right) or double clicking the point that you want to zoom to or using the wheel of your wheel mouse. (or click the zoomto link).

2. Zoom and pan to your area of interest and look at the cloud forest points represented by red and green tree symbols. If you wish to edit or add to the database pan until the white crosshair in the centre of the map overlies the point at which you know the cloudforest exists. When you stop movong a red crosshair will re-centre on top of the white crosshair. Click this to access a screen in which you can submit details to the database. These will then appear immediately in the edited database. If you want to comment on an existing data point add your new point on top of the old.

3. The embedded GE browser plugin version is similar except that the go to location and go to choice features are available.  On first use this version requires a download and installation.
