The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum have set up a Google Earth tool/collaboration that lets you see what's going on in Darfur - from a safe distance. Zoom in to more than 133,000 homes, schools, mosques and other buildings burned to the ground.

It's the first step of the USHMM's Genocide Prevention Mapping Initiative.

The Genocide Prevention Mapping Initiative seeks to collect, share and visually present to the world critical information on emerging crises that may lead to genocide or related crimes against humanity.

Beginning with Darfur, we are building an interactive “global crisis map" that will provide citizens, aid workers and foreign policy professionals with a new tool to share and understand information quickly, to "see the situation", enabling more effective prevention and response.
