Data Management & Mobilisation / Feed

Conservation tech work doesn't stop after data is collected in the field. Equally as important to success is navigating data management and processing tools. For the many community members who deal with enormous datasets, this group will be an invaluable resource to trade advice, discuss workflows and tools, and share what works for you.

Both yes but mainly no, I liked the concept so much I "borrowed" it from "Endangered Safari" including the digitalized mammals.

Behind the scenes it is fairly simple:  Just add relevant animals in a powerpoint, save as JPG, import it to

https://synoptic.design/

and name the area that looks like an animal after the animal- notice it must be the same name you have in the database and the same you will use in your reports,  

Save it as a SVG- file and now you are ready to use it in tools like Power BI/ Tableau and custom lots of things like colour and it is interactive/ clickable.

Unfortunately the coverage maps in IUCN did not have good enough data quality for our national park,

So when you create a global database add a digital version of the specie and of course, always updated ranges.

The GBIF backbone taxonomy is composed of Catalogue of Life, ITIS, the Red List and dozens of other checklists. It's just been updated again, but this blogpost from a 2019 update does a good job of explaining what it is: https://data-blog.gbif.org/post/gbif-backbone-taxonomy/

Another more recent post can help get one up to speed on using it via our species API: https://data-blog.gbif.org/post/gbif-species-api/
