The court said: "The ideal thing to do would be to take an old Google map image of an affected area and compare it with a new one."
Google Maps offers satellite imagery, street maps, and 360° panoramic views of streets. Much of the available satellite imagery is no more than three years old and is updated on a regular basis.
Contrary claims, meanwhile, stated that some amount of mangrove destruction was inevitable during the setting up of new highways, and even a portion of the proposed airport at Navi Mumbai. Since these projects are in public interest, a compensatory replantation would be carried out, the report added.
Interestingly, a recent study by the state government had revealed that mangrove felling had in fact dropped by 80% in the last one year.
Over to Google Maps now for a clearer picture on this.
