In the United Nations International Year of Camelids, we are excited to include a migratory population of guanacos in the first round of maps in the Atlas! In Patagonia, researchers are studying the impacts of drought, tourism & predation Rewilding Argentina @wyssfoundation Freyja Development Foundation
There are an estimated 25 million kilometers of new roads planned for construction around the world by 2050. We are making maps that can help transportation infrastructure accommodate migrating ungulates – from the Kazakh Steppe to the Serengeti 🦌🦓Altyn Dala Conservation Initiative
Rapid railway construction in Mongolia is fragmenting the migratory ranges of ungulates like the khulan. We're working to support scientists researching effective ways to restore landscape connectivity in this incredible ecosystem. WCS Mongolia InfoGraphics Lab
An initial attempt to map fences automatically, with Microsoft AI and Dept. of Agriculture. Looking for more training data (fences and imagery) for our second phase! science.org/content/articl…

Thanks for a fantastic webinar on Wednesday with Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) & Global Initiative on Ungulate Migration launching the Global Atlas for Ungulate Migration. Read our blog on the usefulness of migration data, and how #saiga is one of 20 species initially featured in the Atlas shorter.me/SMdZb
Did you know? 22% of the world’s migratory species are in decline. Detailed migration maps included in Global Initiative on Ungulate Migration Atlas of Ungulate Migration allows scientists to pinpoint where to direct conservation efforts to ease passage of migratory wildlife. cms.int/en/gium/migrat…
