GOOGLE EARTH AND THE AMAZONIAN TRIBE
When Google Earth was set up in 2005, satellite technology changed forever the way we see the world and we all became global tourists. 1_____ All you need for your virtual world trip is a computer and an Internet connection.
But Google Earth is not just a fun way to explore the world. 2_____ When Google Earth first appeared, nobody could have imagined that an Amazonian tribe would use this tool to help them protect their environment and their culture.
The Surui tribe live in the middle of the Amazon rainforest of Brazil. They had not had any contact with the outside world until 1969. Then illegal loggers started to invade their land and destroy the forest. 3_____ So they elected Chief Almir as one of the leaders of the tribe.
Chief Almir first came across Google Earth on a visit to an Internet café. He immediately realised that he could use the interactive maps to tell people about the illegal logging that was destroying his people's environment.
The tribal chief wanted to show the effects of deforestation, not only on his local community, but on a global scale too. 4_____ He contacted Google and then travelled from the Amazon rainforest to Google headquarters in California and told them his story. They discussed ways of working together.
Google sent trainers to teach Surui teenagers how to use mobile phones to create YouTube videos and then upload them to Google Earth to share their way of life with people around the world. 5_____ They combined modern technology with the tribe's traditional knowledge of the rainforest. Rebecca Moore, Google employee, said that the Surui people and Google had worked together to bring the story of the forest to the global community.
