Biodiversity conservation planning tools using species distribution models in eastern Canada

Land cover change is the largest driver of global biodiversity loss but often the relationships between habitats and species occurrence are unknown. The conservation community requires tools to assess variation in biodiversity related to land cover for prioritizing conservation actions. Our objective is to develop a biodiversity mapping and assessment tool for eastern Canada using species distribution models. Tools the intern contributes to building in this project will assist Ducks Unlimited Canada in identifying places to work and prioritizing types of actions to conserve biodiversity.
