Fri Nov 14 09:23:31 UTC 2014

Hello .

This week is celebrated in Sydney the World Parks Congress (
http://worldparkscongress.org/), where experts and delegations from
governments around the world discuss about the future of protected areas on
the planet.

In parallel, during the weekend, some organizations and technology
companies are organizing an event in 6 cities around the world where the
role that information technology can play in the conservation and
development of the protected areas will be explored: http://ecohack.org/.

Sponsors of this event are: United Nations, through the UNEP - WCMC (
http://www.unep-wcmc.org/), Development Seed (
http://www.developmentseed.org/), World Resources Institute (
http://www.wri.org/) MapBox (https://www.mapbox.com/) and Digital Globe (
http://www.digitalglobe.com/).

I will try to participate from the office in Madrid (MediaLab Prado), there
are plenty of resources and open data to play with:
