If you’re investigating deforestation, (illegal) mining activities in nature-protected areas, or nature loss, QGIS is a great tool to add to your investigative toolkit. Participants will learn where to find different types of geospatial data, including satellite imagery from open sources, and how to open, visualize, and manipulate them using QGIS to achieve investigation goals. Participants will work on real data from previous investigations done by the Pulitzer Center’s Data and Research Team. No particular knowledge of QGIS is needed to participate in this masterclass, and it is suitable for those who have not used QGIS before and those who know only the basics. Before coming to the session, please install QGIS on your laptops and make sure it works. Download from: https://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/download.html
