Google: Amazon Street View

Members of Google's Brazil and U.S. Street View and Google Earth Outreach teams are currently in the Amazon rainforest using the Street View technology to capture images along the Amazon river, surrounding forests and adjacent river communities.
Developed in partnership with the Amazonas Sustainable Foundation (FAS), a local NGO, Google is training some of  their representatives on the imagery collection process and leaving some of the equipment behind for them to continue the work. By teaching locals how to operate these tools, Google hopes they can continue sharing their points of view, culture and ways of life with audiences across the globe.
