Currently monitoring efforts are often sporadic and quite expensive, aerial surveys for example might only occur once in a decade. Also, wildlife management units are often geographically defined by anthropogenic features on the landscape such as highways as opposed to biologically relevant boundaries based on viable habitat for species. Indigenous peoples through their stewardship conduct constant landscape level monitoring and their traditional knowledge offers access to data sets thousands of years long. What can we do to help braid these sources of information to enhance monitoring?
