First come the loggers, then come the ( )? Download field notebook questions. In the previous section, you learned about what landscape features (e.g., availability of water) are important to various Adirondack species. You also learned about what specific threats (e.g., roads, pollution) the species face. In this section, you will look at maps that represent this information for the landscape species selected by the Adirondack researchers. Click on the Wood Turtle Icon below to see a step by step explanation of the process scientists use when using maps for conservation. After you have seen the process, select the species below that you (or your group) are working with. Your job is to use the maps to identify an area in which to focus your conservation efforts, based on the landscape needs of the species and on where the human threats are. You should identify good areas for preservation (meaning good habitat and low human threat) and areas where conservation efforts should be focused (where threats could be addresses and minimized). You can then include this information in your final presentation. When you have finished the mapping activity for your selected species, return to this page to complete the Field Notebook questions.
