Wildlife Habitat Mapping
Using Local Expertise for Habitat Data
Our Partnership
Wildlife habitat data is essential for conservation-based decision making. With that in mind, we worked to explore the potential of using volunteered geographic information (VGI) to gather insight into wildlife living habits. Working in collaboration with scholars from the University of Wisconsin - Madison, along with other academic and community partners, we gathered the research and ingenuity necessary to generate crucial data for conservation efforts.
