Abstract

Building a GIS for the EWF
Track: Conservation
Authors: Matt Crawford

The East Wildlife Foundation operates over 215,000 acres of natural rangeland in south Texas. East employs less than 50 people but manages $1 billion in assets. I am building a GIS tailored specifically for the East Wildlife Foundation. It provides a powerful tool to help facilitate their mission of supporting wildlife conservation by providing access to detailed information for research and cattle management, mobile applications for real time editing, and story maps for public outreach.
