OneFortyOne has launched an interactive ArcGIS Story Map which can take viewers on an interactive journey through some of the native conservation areas across their South Australian and Victorian plantations.
‘Biodiversity within OneFortyOne’s Green Triangle Plantations’ highlights the native conservation values the business protects within its Green Triangle plantation forests.
OneFortyOne uses Geospatial Imagery Systems (GIS) to ensure that extensive, accurate, and reliable data is collected over time and Story Maps are a great way to showcase data and how it is used to make informed decisions in the forest.
Senior geospatial technologist Ashwood Caesar said when the data OneFortyOne collected was displayed using GIS mapping it provided a picture of activities over both space and time.
“We wanted to develop an interactive tool that showcases the native wildlife and plants living in our forests,” he said.
The story is linked to a GIS map of the native conservation areas that fall within OneFortyOne estate across the Green Triangle Region.
Each native conservation area is colour-coded in relation to its conservation rating.
Senior GIS analyst John Cannon said the Story Map provided a tour of some of the conservation areas.
“The audio and images help create an auditory and visual experience of what walking through OneFortyOne conservation areas can be like.”
“GIS is a tool that we use every day. If you’ve ever used Google Maps, then you’ve used GIS”
