Goals and Objectives
Protect parks and monuments by providing stewardship and conservation of cultural and land resources.
Technology Deployed
Cloud-based portals and mobile GIS apps to improve the efficiency of field workers, Bluetooth beacon and other short-range radio technologies, sensors and video cameras, mobile apps, content management software, eforms to apply for land use, and analytics of usages and threats to sustain the health and diversity of lands
Use Case Summary
Improve the return on investment of publicly owned and managed resources and land by enabling workers and volunteers to monitor and analyze usage and threats to preserving natural and cultural resources.
