Powerful, interactive graphs, charts and mapping at this new dashboard show private conservation banking including bank status, changes in listed species, species credit releases, inventories, sales and more.
The Endangered Species Act (ESA) was enacted to provide a means whereby the habitat upon which endangered and threatened species depend may be conserved. Under Sections 7 and 10 of the ESA, the taking of listed species may be allowed when certain limiting criteria are met. In 2003,the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) issued a memorandum on conservation banking indicating that activities regulated under Section 7 or Section 10 of the ESA may be eligible to use a conservation bank if the adverse impacts to the species from the particular project are offset by buying credits created or sold by the bank.
This dashboard is included in all EcoBlu Analyst 5.0 Data Licenses and provides the key to understanding patterns, trends, and insights previously locked away in unrelated, incompatible databases.
The powerful interactive big data system converts more than 35 million data points into practical, useful information for industry, engineering/environmental firms, mitigation providers, environmental non-profits, government resource agencies and others.
