Flying Guardians

We turned the most realistic game in the world into a tool for defending the environment, &ebsp; using continually updated satellite imagery. Watch the trailer

Flying          Guardians
is an         innovative approach
         to getting people effectively involved in defending the environment.

Using this tool, based off the world’s most hyper-realistic flight simulator, thousands of people can conduct virtual flyovers of regions like the Amazon.

The map’s not a simulation.
It’s a reproduction
in near real-time.

This MOD (modification) updates the game map with satellite imagery provided by Planet and Google Earth.

HOW does
IT WORK?

We developed a code that creates a new game map, using the latest satellite imagery.

OUR
FIRST MISSION:

REPORTING
ILLEGAL MINING
ON INDIGENOUS LAND

Illegal mining
in the Amazon is a dire problem.

This criminal activity pollutes rivers,
poisons people, animals and does all sorts of damage
to the environment and to life in the Amazon.

The Indigenous peoples most
affected by illegal mining are the Yanomamis and the Mundurukus.

That’s why our first mission will focus on their lands.

You’ll be able to get a firsthand look at them and file incident reports in the game.

To help you find your way there,
they'll be highlighted in gameplay.

Become one of the FLYING GUARDIANs. Join our mission.
