When you scan the globe using Google Earth you will notice a large portion of Central Africa outlined in orange.  Zoom in closer and you will see the words "Crisis in Darfur". 

Google has teamed up with United State Holocaust Memorial Museum in hopes people around the world will be able to visualize the vast devastation and genocide occuring in the Darfur region.

"It's our hope that by combining this up-to-date satellite imagery with authoritative data and evidence from the ground in Google Earth we can make it harder for people to stand idly by when genocide happens,' " said Lawrence Swiader, the museum's chief information officer.

The Holocaust museum has also begun using Google Earth on their site to map Holocaust locations in Europe during WWII.
