Logging roads are a major indicator of deforestation in the Congo Basin . Until now, their reach has been difficult to visualize, obscuring the rapid rise in deforestation in the region. Often, these roads are discovered only after they have been abandoned.
The Logging Roads project is a joint initiative of Global Forest Watch and Moabi to monitor the spread of logging roads across the Congo Basin.
Together, we are analyzing over a decade of imagery to track rainforest logging road activity.
We need people to help tag roads! Go to loggingroads.org and click "Start Contributing"

In addition to this front-end website, Logging Roads uses several backend components, many forked from OpenStreetMap Tools
http://tasks.loggingroads.org/
https://github.com/crowdcover/osm-tasking-manager2
Forked from OSM HOT Tasking Manager (https://github.com/hotosm/osm-tasking-manager2)
A custom installation of tasking manager configured to list only logging roads tasks and point to the Logging Roads iD.
http://id.loggingroads.org/ (usually accessed via Tasking Manager)
https://github.com/loggingroads/iD
Forked from OSM iD (https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD)
Modified to include only logging roads presets, and include Landsat satellite layers in the menu.
Forked from Mapbox's to-fix tool (https://github.com/osmlab/to-fix)
Modified to allow users to select a year based on satellite imagery and save the selection as a tag in OSM.

- to-fix-backend (https://github.com/crowdcover/to-fix-backend)
- Map (https://github.com/crowdcover/logging-roads-animation-map) - Mapbox-gl map visualization of logging roads over time http://map.loggingroads.org (also on homepage at loggingroads.org)
- Tessera () - Vector tile server
- LoggingRoads DataMunge (https://github.com/crowdcover/logging-roads-datamunge) - Extracts data from OSM nightly, used to update vector tiles and data downloads
- OSM Meta Util (https://github.com/crowdcover/osm-meta-util) - Used for the leaderboard. Counts changes on OSM changes tagged with project hash tags.
- LoggingRoads Backend (https://github.com/crowdcover/logging-roads-backend) - Simple web service to access stats calculated by DataMunge and OSM Meta Util
