Abstract
 Visualizing International Deforestation Trajectories Using ArcGIS Track: Forestry, Wildlife, and Fisheries Management Author(s): Brent Chamberlain, Michael Meitner, Ryan Gandy With the increase in permanent forest clearing, global deforestation is having a major impact on our finite resources. A growing public awareness of current forestry practices around the world is provoking people to question the management of these valuable forested regions. We will present a conceptual model that links visualizations and quantitative data to spatial locations over a range of time periods. This information will enable people from around the world to freely explore the forces behind deforestation at both regional and local levels. Using ArcGIS we generate information vignettes that visualize spatial and temporal data from a variety of vantage points to provide increased communication between the international public and parties directly involved in permanent forest clearing.
