  ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA — The grant will turn a static proof of concept regional conservation assessment framework developed in a 2010 grant into a dynamic information system that will allow new data to be uploaded, including from partners in three regions, and analytical tools to be created and used for analysis and communication. NatureServe refers to this collection of synthesized data, analytical tools, and visualization systems as the "dashboard assessment." NatureServe and its national and global partners will move the proof of concept into dynamic operation, through three global objectives: 1) Develop the digital information architecture necessary to allow data uploading from local and national sources, regional aggregation, quality control, and public reporting; 2) Provide scientific analysis of the data to provide insight into the impact of conservation actions. 3) Support other CSD grantees and partners in strengthening national/regional capacity for data upload information the dashboards, building from the insight received in earlier phases.

  Conservation & Sustainable Development

  ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA — The project is designed to sustain key NatureServe activities from the concluding "proof of concept" phase in the development of the dashboards assessment framework to an operational second phase. Under Phase II, NatureServe and its national and global partners will move the proof of concept into dynamic operation, through three global objectives: 1) Develop the digital information architecture necessary to allow national input and ownership, regional aggregation and quality control, and public reporting and dissemination of data and analyses; 2) Provide scientific analysis of the data, in particular to provide insight into the benefits of conservation actions; 3) Support regional and national partners, including CSD grantees, in strengthening locally driven monitoring programs for data upload into the dashboards.
