Google is coming to the IUCN World Parks Congress 2014!

Google believes in the power and potential of technology to support parks, people, and the planet. Google mapping tools (Google Maps, Google Earth, and more) are being used by park managers and researchers alike to manage and monitor changes in protected areas, engage the public and communities, and understand risk of natural disasters.
