The unique biodiversity found in the Great Basin and Columbia
Plateau faces potential devastating and irreversible change
as a result of land uses and growth of human populations in
these regions. A wide variety of individuals and agencies
use and/or manage the region. Some of the realized and potential
changes are tied to individual or local decisions without
a regional or cumulative understanding of the consequences.
Effective management of the natural resources in areas as
complex as these requires ready access to information so that
everyone can efficiently work together.

Big changes are coming in the fall of 2004 as we implement
new projects for visualizing Great Basin and Columbia Plateau
ecology, so please check back often.
