Acerca del evento
Join Conservation Director Matt Gerhart at the Northern Bird Alliance Virtual symposium on Spatial Approaches to Priority Setting in conservation. GIS can help us see which landscapes our in most need of management or can have the largest conservation impact. Federal, State and local government authorities charged with conservation of our biodiversity and natural resources have limited means, which forces them to prioritize their interventions. The same applies for NGOs, foundations and private organizations that are active in conservation. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are an important tool for spatial targeting of conservation efforts.
The planned webinar will provide examples for GIS applications in different settings (all on locations in NOVA) and offer participants an opportunity to learn from these examples, ask questions and build relationships with other organizations that could help them better achieve their goals.
