[ddj] Mapping illegal crops in the borderlands of Belarus, Poland and Ukraine

[alexey medvetsky]

Hi Stas,

Yes. If it's possible to get the machine-readable data from the police 
then this would be enough:
- Date,
- Name of the place (ideally geolocated),
- Type of crops,
- Size of the plantation

These are the fields I used to make the map. Otherwise simple text 
reports will probably do fine in case they are standardized.

Unfortunately I don't have the data for Ukraine. But as my data suggest, 
most Belarusian poppy crops are in the Grodno border region, so I am 
very curious to see the situation around Bialystok.


Best,
Alexey.
