On this episode of the Rewilding Earth Podcast, Bob Boucher & I explain a new paradigm of sustainable beaver management. It involves a connectivity analysis using Omniscape plus the use of Mergin Maps & #QGIS.

10 years ago! It was such an honor. I had a 15 year relationship with the National Library of Medicine before moving to Denmark. During this time, I developed a program named Community Health Maps (lnkd.in/eAhnHZC6) for public health officials working with under-served and at-risk communities.
