What if a used cell phone could be turned into a technology that prevents deforestation from illegal logging and land clearing? Explorer and engineer Topher White offers a simple and highly scalable way to stop tropical deforestation that does just that and in real-time. White's technology shows a way to combat both deforestation and climate change that any country struggling with illegal logging could deploy.

This is applying really appropriate technology in action! WHB
