CEO in Indonesia for major announcement
10/29/2009
Landgate Chief Executive Mike Bradford is in Indonesia today for the launch of Indofire, an online tool that detects and monitors forest fires, peatland fires and smoke haze and is based on the original Landgate program FireWatch.
The launch will take place in the nation’s capital Jakarta later this morning.
Indofire has been made possible by the collaboration of a number of agencies including the Indonesian Ministry of Forestry, the Indonesian National Institute of Aeronautics and Space (LAPAN) and the Indonesian Department of Higher Education.
It has been funded by AusAID as part of the Indonesia-Australia Partnership, specifically the Indonesia-Australia Forest Carbon Partnership whose objective is to reduce emission from deforestation and forest degradation, both of which are intimately associated with wildfires.
