One-stop software programs for ecological monitoring

The slow pace of delivering information to decision-makers hinders its application to conservation planners and managers. ACP is developing a fully integrated Windows database with open source software that will speed up the process and be available to all conservation organizations  collecting resource data. Victor Mose has in recent months developed most of the software for rapidly entering, analyzing and producing data for use by SORALO, AET, NTRI and DRSRS among others. The platform includes a GIS and other graphical visualization tools to summarize and display the data; open source analytical and statistical packages for rapid evaluation and application of the data, and spatial tools for assessing the trends, drought early-warning systems and the health of ecosystems.
 
ACP’s ultimate aim for the integrated ecological monitoring and one-stop software program is to produce regular state-of-ecosystem reports of the Kenya-Tanzania borderlands on a Google Earth image for use by participating NGOs and communities.
 
Victor Mose used the new software to analyze the Laikipia Wildlife Forum (LWF) wildlife count undertaken by DRSRS in May. Victor presented a review of the integrated analytical software at the fourth Spatial Ecology Conference in July 2016 in Bristol, United Kingdom (see details here). The presentation will be submitted in the December 2016 report.
