This is a hands-on introduction to using QGIS as for investigative journalism. We will cover various QGIS functions including calculating an area deforestation, checking whether a mine is encroaching on indigenous land, or illegal activities are taking place in regulated areas. Participants will learn how to open, visualize and manipulate various types of geographical data, We will use case studies of real examples of environmental research conducted in the Congo Basin, the Amazon and Southeast Asia. By the end of this session, attendees will be equipped with the basic skills to start using QGIS, integrating geospatial data analysis into their investigative toolkit. No prior knowledge is required, but you should install QGIS on your laptops and make sure it works. Download from: https://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/download.html
