From the University of Maryland department of geographical sciences, this is very cool.
You can view the change in forest cover all over the world from 2000-2012, and you can zoom in to particular countries and regions. Be sure to check out the "zoom to area" feature in the bottom right corner.
Here is an accompanying article at BBC.
Thanks to DT for sending me the links.
