Development <http://www.uncsd2012.org/>. We**'re sharing a series of posts

taking place there. -Ed.*

This week at the Rio+20 conference, the Surui tribe of the Brazilian
Amazon<http://www.paiter.org/>are launching their Surui Cultural Map
on Google Earth. This represents the
culmination of a unique five-year collaboration between the Surui people
and Google, which began in June 2007 when Chief Almir Surui first visited
Google<http://google-latlong.blogspot.com.br/2007/06/trading-bow-and-arrow-for-laptop.html>and
proposed a partnership. The story of that visit, and the remarkable
project that followed, are told in a new short documentary also launching
here at Rio+20:* “Trading Bows and Arrows for Laptops: Carbon and Culture.”
