Conservation planning for 30x30
Unlock nature’s potential
GIS plays an essential role in designing and evaluating scenarios for conservation planning. The goal of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework is to create a world where people live in harmony with nature. According to the framework, biodiversity should be valued, conserved, restored, and wisely used by 2050—maintaining ecosystem services, sustaining a healthy planet, and delivering benefits essential for all people.
ArcGIS enables area-based conservation planning across landscapes by integrating informative spatial data and analytics. Simple apps support landscape conservation initiative outreach.
Geospatial professionals from leading institutions publish their spatial data in ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World. This vast catalog of authoritative maps, apps, and data layers provides a global canvas for modeling landscape conservation scenarios.
Leverage powerful analysis and landscape conservation modeling tools native to ArcGIS including on-the-fly image processing and raster analytics. Augment your 30x30 spatial analysis seamlessly with leading open science frameworks such as Python, R, and Jupyter Notebook.
ArcGIS provides a comprehensive framework for geodesign—a process that combines suitability modeling and stakeholder engagement to guide conservation actions in a specific area. Quickly visualize and quantitatively compare alternative design scenarios to support your 30x30 planning efforts.
ArcGIS provides a collaborative environment for exploring conservation planning scenarios involving key stakeholders. Powerful 30x30 visualizations and interactive stories created with ArcGIS StoryMaps inform without overwhelming, while simple survey tools streamline stakeholder feedback collection.
