Salamander Blitz: Mapping Critical Habitats for Conservation
Wednesday October 9, 2024 4:30pm - 5:00pm EDT
Whitley
The Salamander Blitz brought together multiple organizations in a collaborative effort to support the conservation of the endangered Yellow Spotted Woodland Salamander. Using GIS technology, we worked with biologists to identify specific habitat characteristics and employed spatial analysis to narrow down target areas for field searches. This cross-organizational initiative combined expertise and resources, resulting in an efficient and focused approach to conservation. Field teams, equipped with ArcGIS Field Maps, conducted on-site investigations based on our GIS-driven analysis. This presentation will highlight the collaborative process, the GIS methodologies used, and the real-world impact of modern spatial tools on endangered species conservation efforts.
