Do you remember the military coup in #Myanmar way back in '21?

The people who where forced to flee their homes sure remembers. Because many of them are still displaced!

Doctors Without Borders are trying to help them with basic sanitation and other necessities. To do that they need to know where they are, and how to get to them. They need #maps

And you can help! For free! While on the toilet!

Just install the app #MapSwipe (A+iOS) and start swiping. It's easy and fun

In 2023 I also contributed to #OpenStreetMap in another way than editing the map. Trough #MapSwipe I helped organizations like Médecins Sans Frontières, who needes maps of unmapped areas to help people there, by looking trough satellite photos and marking areas with houses or roads, or stuff like that.

A really easy way to help the world while waiting for something or while on the toilet. Give it a try!

I swiped 6.8k times, for a total of 5h 57m, mostly on Wednesdays.

@GambaJo hat dir keiner geantwortet? :blob_disapproval: :blobcatwhat: Was interessiert dich?

So ähnlich wie FloraIncognita funktioniert die #Obsidentify-App, damit kannst du Tiere fotografieren und identifizieren.

Online gibt es z. B. die #MapSwipe-App, mit der man auf Karten von Krisengebieten nach Gebäuden sucht.
