Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
The NASA reports states: “The strength of the SERVIR system is in its diverse international team of scientists, developers and researchers. SERVIR-Africa builds on existing capacity at the mapping center in Nairobi."
"The center, together with SERVIR's lead partner in Central America, the Water Center for the Humid Tropics of Latin America and the Caribbean, are jointly developing an integrated system."
"These two regional organizations are standardizing database management and evaluating common methods for predicting severe weather events, analyzing impacts from climate change and working to understand health and ecosystem interactions.”
To learn more about SERVIR from the perspective of the Central American country of Panama, read the NASA article “Floods! Fire! SERVIR.”
The NASA article concludes with: "It is important that people learn how to use these tools.... Since SERVIR's inauguration in February 2005, we have been holding regional workshops to train government representatives in how to use this environmental visualization data."
“And the best part about SERVIR? It is active and available to anyone.... SERVIR is an open system, free, and its data can be downloaded any time."
This is another important example where international cooperation helps to achieve a better world, both globally, locally, and everywhere in between.
