Conservation Planning and Analysis Tools

The Conservation Registry

The Conservation Registry is an accessible database and mapping system that allows users to enter, search, map and track interesting conservation projects. The registry gathers data from multiple sources, ranging from small organizations and landowners to federal resource agencies, non-profit organizations, tribes and foundations. The purpose of the registry is to help users understand the context, distribution, and effectiveness of collective conservation efforts to protect and restore ecosystems.

Vista

Vista is a very powerful and flexible tool for conducting conservation planning and integrating conservation with other assessment and planning activities such as land use, transportation, energy, and natural resources management.  NatureServe Vista 2.0 now supports the ArcMap 9.2 platform and adds increased ability to import and tailor information, depict even more realistic land use scenarios, and model the effects of future scenarios on the condition of habitats, ecosystems, and other features.
