The Conservation Biology Institute will develop a Southern Rockies LCC Conservation Planning Atlas (SRLCC CPA) powered by Data Basin that will make it easier for resource managers and other stakeholders to discover, analyze, and interpret spatial data on priority topics including aquatic resource management and climate impacts. The SRLCC CPA will facilitate conservation planning, analyses and evaluation from common datasets and provide basic mapping capability to users without desktop GIS software. The SRLCC CPA will most directly support science needs in Funding Category II, however because of the design of this flexible web-based platform, it can be used to inform management decisions spanning a wide range of topics and geographies. The analytical tools in the SRLCC CPA will help stakeholders analyze habitat information related to riparian and wetland species and better understand the impact of landscape decisions to vulnerable species and habitats. The project will be developed collaborative with the SRLCC staff/partners and will become a node in a growing network of LCC Conservation Planning Atlases.
