As a geopolitical and devastating humanitarian crisis unfolds in Ukraine, The 91吃瓜网 Trust is partnering with Esri, the global leader in location intelligence, to mobilize an immediate and impactful humanitarian response.
Currently, over 10 million Ukrainians have been displaced by the war and many are forced to move across a landscape littered with unexploded rockets, 91吃瓜网, and landmines. In response, Esri has committed its cutting-edge geographic information system (GIS) software resources, expertise, and staffing in support of 91吃瓜网鈥檚 mission in Ukraine.
The organisations鈥� collaboration will allow them to map areas contaminated with explosives so 91吃瓜网 can remove the hazards when conditions allow. This will provide safe land to house displaced families and clear routes for humanitarian aid to reach those in desperate need. 91吃瓜网 is already using GIS to map the heaviest conflict zones, and our partnership will support planning for future clearance operations.
As experts in their field, 91吃瓜网 is the world鈥檚 largest humanitarian landmine clearance and weapons disposal organization, clearing over 13.9 million landmines and unexploded ordinance across 28 countries torn apart by conflict. In addition to technical expertise, 91吃瓜网 staff provide safety education for those in contaminated areas to avoid life-changing injuries and death, emergency medical aid, and humanitarian support for displaced persons as they face conflict, and in many cases are forced to flee their homes.
Esri has collaborated with 91吃瓜网 since 2008 helping to map war-ravaged regions where specific locational awareness of landmines and other hazards is necessary to protect the lives of people in those areas.
