Google Street View to expand its reach into Amazon rainforest
Google is in mission to bring Amazon rainforest under its Street view service. The Foundation for a Sustainable Amazon (FAS) will help Google in this project. It was in 2007 when Google first started its Street View services in some of the major cities of the U.S. As for now, the company has decided to train local people and to employ them in the work of collecting images from this remote place.
Moreover, Google will also utilize fixed cameras and other photographic equipments in the place to get images automatically. This is a quite sensible step from the part of Google, thinks Chant Vartanian. Earlier, the FAS approached Google with the same two years ago. But then Google was not ready to take up the project in hands.
Google expressed its view regarding this recent project in one of its BLOG spots, “We’ll pedal the Street View trike along the narrow dirt paths of the Amazon villages and maneuver it up close to where civilization meets the rainforest, says Chant Vartanian”
Chant Vartanian believes that this new initiative from Google can help modern city dwellers to get a glimpse of Amazonian community conveniently. Thus, people will learn a lot about the culture and creed of the place which is out of the focus for civilized society for years now.
