We argue that the conservation community needs to critically assess the value of global maps and consider alternative ways of generating a global picture of biodiversity conservation needs.īrooks, T. We interrogate the purposes of global maps and their underpinning assumptions and highlight the costs of increasingly globalized conservation knowledge. Here, we argue that global maps constitute a particular, and problematic, form of global knowledge that erases local context and difference 6. But now, two decades after Myers and colleagues published their famous ‘hotspots’ paper 5, we suggest that the sheer volume and accelerating production of global maps is becoming counterproductive for conservation. These maps were undoubtedly transformative for conservation 2: they placed biodiversity on a world stage, catalysed systematic conservation planning 3, redirected the work of international organizations, and raised substantial funding for conservation 4. The 1990s and 2000s saw a surge in the creation of global conservation priority maps (hereafter ‘global maps’). The mission of the National Technical Information Service (NTIS) is to provide innovative data services to federal agencies, through agile partnerships with. Given these disciplinary foundations, the primacy of spatial prioritization for conservation research and action is unsurprising 1. Global - The INFORM model covers 191 countries, providing one score per country.

Government-authorized use only.Conservation research has roots in the ecological and biogeographic sciences, which frequently investigate the spatial distributions of ecosystems, species, populations and genes. Provide global maritime geospatial intelligence in support of national security objectives, including safety of navigation, international. This information system is provided for U.S. The National Technical Information Service provides businesses, universities, and the public access to government-funded scientific, engineering, technical. Government information system, which includes: (1) this computer, (2) this computer network, (3) all computers connected to this network, and (4) all devices and storage media attached to this network or to a computer on this network. The pool of international and national experts with expertise on climate adaptation (including NAPs) and gender is limited, a problem even more pronounced in francophone countries. Each year we gather information about emerging patient safety issues from widely recognized experts and stakeholders.

NIBIN National Correlation and Training Center (NNCTC) This program is one investigative tool accessed by law enforcement that allows each of us to share information and cooperation easily making all of us more effective in closing cases. Law enforcement can search against evidence from their jurisdiction, neighboring ones, and others across the country. These images are correlated against the database. To use NIBIN, firearms examiners or technicians enter cartridge casing evidence into the Integrated Ballistic Identification System. Poland’s defense minister said on Thursday that the army was aware of a possible missile heading towards the country in December but failed to inform the government. and pred icted t o decline by a relative 3 in 2025 an d 0.1 by 2030 in S cenario 1. Prior to the NIBIN Program, firearms examiners performed this process manually which was extremely labor intensive. National annua l average all-age parasite pre va lence was e stimated at 0. NIBIN is the only interstate automated ballistic imaging network in operation in the United States and is available to most major population centers in the United States. Alerts provide timely information about current security issues. The NIBIN Program automates ballistics evaluations and provides actionable investigative leads in a timely manner. As Americas Cyber Defense Agency, we lead the national effort to understand, manage. Today ATF has the capability to share ballistics intelligence across the United States making law enforcement resources more effective. Since the 1990s, ATF has worked with our law enforcement partners to place the capabilities of the NIBIN Network where it can help incarcerate armed violent offenders plaguing our communities. Crimes are solved by law enforcement following up on intelligence information from ballistic imaging technology.
