The Xingu Observatory is a web application designed to monitor the exploitation of natural resources in the Amazonian Xingu Basin Region. This innovative tool provides real-time data and visualizations to help protect the integrity of the Xingu Corridor.
Key Features
- Obras: Monitors projects that pose a threat to the territorial integrity of the Xingu Corridor.
- Degradação: Allows users to sign up for periodic email reports with updates on deforestation and heat spots.
- Conflitos: Registers conflicts related to the appropriation and use of territory and its natural resources.
Technology Stack
The Xingu Observatory is built using a modern tech stack to ensure robust performance and interactive data visualization:
- Leaflet: For interactive maps and geospatial data visualization.
- Vue.js: A progressive JavaScript framework for building user interfaces.
- D3.js: For creating dynamic and interactive data visualizations.
- TypeScript: Ensures type safety and enhances code quality.
About the Project
The Xingu Observatory is part of the Rede Xingu + initiative, which aims to protect the Xingu Basin by providing tools and data to monitor environmental threats. The application integrates various data sources to offer comprehensive insights into deforestation, infrastructure projects, and territorial conflicts.
My Contribution
I collaborated as a frontend developer contractor, developing the filter toggles for data layers and Leaflet map controls. This feature allows users to easily switch between different data visualizations.
