Darshan Karwat thinks big. Really big. Like as big as the cosmos. Or like reinventing an entire profession. So he asks a lot of questions. Questions that challenge conventional thinking. Questions that many people have never even thought about.
Many tribal groups have voiced concerns about the spiritual, cultural, physical and health impacts from drilling in the area.

Brendan Jarrell sounds a bit like a proud papa when he talks about SkyTruth interns. Brendan coordinates SkyTruth’s intern program, but once upon a time he was an intern himself.

The Amazon rainforest is one of the most biologically diverse places on Earth; a breathtaking riot of life that evolved over eons, encompassing the Amazon River and its vast system of tributaries. Illegal mining in Peru and Brazil is a growing problem, destroying forests and polluting water. SkyTruth is developing a tool to detect illegal mining in the Amazon using radar satellite imagery.
You might say Mary Anne Hitt has Appalachian activism in her blood. When she was growing up in Gatlinburg, Tennessee her father was Chief Scientist at Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Back then, acid rain was decimating high elevation forests in the East, fueled by pollution from coal-fired power plants. Her father watched as iconic places in the park turned into forests of skeleton trees. Today, Mary Anne is National Director of Campaigns for the Sierra Club; and she also serves on SkyTruth’s board of directors.
