Mapping to Conserve Biodiversity in Montana
Description
Attendees will engage in a hands-on mapping design challenge centered on halting biodiversity loss in Montana using local, authentic, scientific data and high-resolution maps.
This session engages attendees in a hands-on mapping design challenge centered on halting biodiversity loss by employing the principle of Half-Earth, a concept conceived by the late American biologist E.O. Wilson. This principle informs programs like America the Beautiful, which aims to conserve 30% of lands and waters by 2030. The activities use authentic data and reflect current evidence-based biodiversity conservation decisions in science and policy.
