Find balance among land, wildlife, and humans.
Successful land resource protection begins with setting priorities. Use GIS to assess the status of wildlife resources, distribution, and threats, as well as to track any changes. With GIS, you can compare scenarios against modeled future conditions to target and plan your stewardship and conservation 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 conservation 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.
GIS software can also automatically detect changes using imagery and artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) and streamline work in remote areas to perform wildlife surveys efficiently and 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.
