UO geographers map out new conservation opportunities
From the plains of Serengeti to the mountains of Wyoming, wildlife herds are facing threats to critical migration routes. But maps created by the UO’s InfoGraphics Lab could be key conservation tools to help these mammals on the move.
The UO’s Jim Meacham and Alethea Steingisser have teamed up with an international group of researchers led by Wyoming biologist and UO alumnus Matthew Kauffman to launch a global initiative that will leverage maps in conservation efforts around the world. The paper, “Mapping Out a Future for Ungulate Migrations,” was published in Science this week.
