Conclusion:
Biodiversity is key to a healthy ecosystem and it is what makes all of these different places around the world unique. There are so many species, plant and animal that call the Adirondacks home, and are found no where else in the world. This region is home to many different ecosystems such as forested, wetland, and alpine, all of which are struggling with invasive species. Since the Adirondacks is such a unique place it is used for a variety of research and education projects that cannot be conducted anywhere else. It is essential that this region and its flora and fauna are protected in order to preserve it for future generations to come.
Reflection:
Through this project, while I did not use Arcmap, I still became familiar with esri. From my past internship in Washington DC, I know that storymap is widely used by many environmental NGOs. Creating this storymap helped me better my skills with this esri product. Eventually I want to go back to working for NGOs and having this storymap project on my CV will be really beneficial for interviews. Overall, I am a little sad that I was unable to follow through with my original project, but I really enjoyed using Storymaps. It was easy to use and fun to make.
