Engaging with the Okavango Project

The video explores the intersection of data and wilderness, emphasizing the human aspect of data creation. It discusses the Open Paths project, which allows individuals to own and visualize their data. The Okavango expedition is highlighted as a live data collection effort, making data accessible to the public. The project aims to create an open-source data legacy, encouraging public engagement and education. The video concludes with a call to action, inviting viewers to participate in preserving the Okavango environment.
