[talk-latam] What to map in Mapazonia?

[wille]

The problem I see in map native forest:

- old satellite imagery and deforestation... Maybe the people will spend 
time mapping an outdated information.
- it can be difficult to distinguish a native forest from a managed 
forest.
- the forests are huge, so it takes a lot of time.

I would prefer to have more areas with rivers and roads mapped than to 
have too much information in a few areas. I would like to include 
mapping landuse=residential or isolated buildings, so we can have an 
idea about where there is people living in Amazonia.

cheers,
wille
