Natural resource management agencies protect our communities’ natural and cultural resources. Understanding the relationships between ecosystems and our impacts on them requires a geographic approach. With GIS, managers can monitor species and ecosystems in real time or take mobile tools offline for monitoring in remote areas. Capture the extent of land and wildlife management activities and measure their impact through time. Turn this data into a conservation plan with spatial analytics.
Successful land resource protection begins with setting priorities. Use GIS to assess the status of wildlife resources, distribution, and threats and track changes. With GIS you can compare scenarios against future modeled conditions to target and plan your stewardship activities.
Resource protection includes stewarding and restoring our natural resources. With GIS, land and wildlife managers can track assets and resources in the field and keep staff safe while executing management plans. GIS allows land and wildlife managers to track stewardship over space and time to measure progress and outcomes.
Land and wildlife managers can use GIS to analyze data from collars, cameras, or other sensor networks to remotely monitor species, ecosystems, and environmental variables; automatically detect change using imagery and artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML); or work in remote areas to efficiently collect observations in the field.
Education and outreach are critical components of successful land and wildlife management. GIS allows land and wildlife managers to scale impact through volunteer initiatives, collaborate with stakeholders to help inform policy decisions, and communicate success.
