Maintaining the Accuracy of Biodiversity Information for Conservation

Summary

This is a foundation grant we received for mapping and transcription of backlogged and older records of animals to ensure our database is as complete as possible. It has allowed us to prioritize a list of at-risk animals that need addressing based on their degree of conservation concern and the threats to them. Over the last couple of years we have been conducting field surveys to high priority occurrences and using species-specific survey methods to determine the presence or absence of target species.
