We need to develop something like this for the geeljire/xoolo daqato of Somalia. Instead of aimlessly walking for days and trying their luck for greener pastures and water source they can use an app like this and save themselves a lot of time and effort.
The traditional somali way, was to send someone to go scouting for good pastoral lands that might take a day or 2 to find if your lucky, another day to come back to your family and finally 2 more days to reach that greener destination. This app saves the goats/camels from dying instead of just hoping to stumble upon good pastures.
Earthrise travels to Kenya to see how pastoralists in southern Kenya are using this satellite mapping technology to make informed migration decisions.
