Hi, my name is Rio and I am a sophomore majoring in Sociology and Environmental Studies. This is my second GIS course. I took the Desktop class earlier this semester.
I completed the quiz, and took Geog 291, so I did not schedule an appointment for weeks 2 and 3. I also already have access to my OWU ArcGIS online account from earlier this semester.
I had trouble finding the areas we were supposed to look at on the ArcGIS Online website and while I was looking I found past student projects which were really cool to see.
The Introduction to ArcGIS Online was helpful for understanding what is possible with the software and how to access it.
The ESRI training was very informational and very easy to use. Directions were clear and concise and it was easy to navigate.
Using ArcGIS Online for wildlife monitoring and conflict mitigation allows conservationists to track species, map habitats, and manage human-wildlife conflicts through real-time data collection, analysis, and visualization

ArcGIS Online enables habitat conservation and land use analysis by providing cloud-based tools to map, monitor, and model environmental data. It is used to identify biodiversity hotspots, track habitat changes over time, create suitability models for restoration, and visualize environmental impacts using Global Forest Watch or ArcGIS Living Atlas data.
