NatureMapping Cofounders
1. Map and measure biodiversity with the help of schools and general public. Tell us, “What do you see, and where do you see it?”
2. Provide the skills necessary to collect and apply communities’ research data for local conservation efforts.
3. Integrate NatureMapping into schools so they become long-term wildlife monitors.4. Help communities develop their biodiversity “report cards.”

Environmental Education• Tools for field investigation, not field trips
• Descriptive, comparative, correlative; rarely control variables
• Science hasn’t been taught in that context
• State testing did not include the “ologies,” including technology
• But NatureMapping is more than science
