Abstract:
|
In order to practice conservation effectively, it is essential for conservationists, policymakers, activists and scientists to have access to a wide variety of data about complex ecological, political and economic systems. While a number of data integration projects have attempted to build conservation science database super-systems, most have failed to overcome the key challenges: compelling people to share, easy and flexible access to data and information, and guidance for using scientific data, analytical methods and results. We developed an innovative information system that addresses these core challenges. This new Internet-based service allows users to search conservation data geographically and by topic. Users are able to: (1) integrate and view multiple conservation datasets, (2) create their own visualizations, (3) view data interchangeably as maps, tables, or graphs, (4) combine or fuse datasets, (5) save and share their visualizations with others, (6) download raw datasets for more advanced uses, and (7) upload their own data to the system. Users are also able to evaluate, comment and rank the data they find, making good data more valuable and easier to find by others. The system is being designed to foster collaboration, significantly speed up the transfer of conservation science to conservation practitioners, and ultimately lead to better science-driven conservation decisions. |
