Apply GIS to conservation initiatives using federal funding
ArcGIS provides a comprehensive framework for geodesign, the discipline of advising conservation actions through iterative design informed by suitability modeling and endorsed through stakeholder engagement. Quickly visualize and quantitatively compare alternative design scenarios to support optimal outcomes.
Maintaining ecological stability for populations or habitats requires understanding the landscape, prescribing management plans, and measuring outcomes. ArcGIS allows organizations to identify threats, prioritize management activities, and quantify their success and achieve restoration funded efforts.
ArcGIS provides a collaborative framework for exploring conservation scenarios and communicating the impacts of restoration funding for key stakeholders. Powerful geographic visualizations and multimedia context inform stakeholders without overwhelming them, while simple, location-based survey tools streamline the understanding of stakeholder feedback.
This initiative-driven community engagement software-as-a-service allows organizations to work with internal and external stakeholders, acquire and analyze input, track progress, and improve the outcomes for the community with accountability and transparency.
This geodesign and scenario planning application keeps an awareness on the environmental impact for new or existing designs. With spatial context and visual storytelling, ArcGIS GeoPlanner helps communicate design intent while balancing environmental constraints.
This all-in-one app uses data-driven maps to help mobile workers perform data collection and editing, find assets and information, and report their real-time locations.
