MapServer
by Rosanne Hessmiller — published Mar 12, 2015
MapServer is an open source platform for publishing spatial data and creating interactive mapping applications to the web. It has been in existence since the mid 90’s and is recognized as mature and stable, with ongoing active development. Its primary focus is producing maps from multiple layers including base imagery and spatial data sets. It also provides intelligent labeling with advanced typography and layout including collision-detection. It can read and serve spatial data in a variety of formats including Shapefiles, WMS, GDAL, PostGIS, and GeoTIFF. It is often used to produce map tiles along with its MapCache extensions. It has libraries that enable application development in a variety of languages including Python, Perl, Ruby, Java, and PHP.

Nature's Network
by Rosanne Hessmiller — published May 06, 2025
Nature’s Network is a collaborative effort among 13 states, the North Atlantic Landscape Conservation Cooperative (LCC), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and nongovernmental agencies to identify the best opportunities for conserving intact habitat, supporting imperiled species, and connecting natural areas across the Northeast region. The project lays the groundwork for voluntary, unified conservation action across the region, from Maine to Virginia. Many data products from the project are available in this gallery. You can also visit naturesnetwork.org for more information, bundled download links, and case studies from users.

File ANCHOR: An Opportunity to Change Landscape Connectivity Networks and Conservation Delivery At-Scale in the U.S.
by Rosanne Hessmiller — published Feb 23, 2025 — last modified May 10, 2025 04:38 PM — filed under: , , , , , , ,
Abstract: Connectivity modeling has been a tool available to the conservation community since the 1980s that guides our responses to habitat fragmentation. While the sophistication of computer modeling continues to grow, on-the-ground delivery remains challenging and lacks urgency. We present an approach to scale up delivery and do so within effective timeframes. The approach, termed ANCHOR (Areawide Networks to Connect Habitat and Optimize Resiliency), is grounded in connectivity science but executed in a manner that is flexible, expandable, and measurable. ANCHOR goes beyond the traditional protected area focus for establishing connected biomes to maximize the contributions of existing public lands and expand private landowner participation. The approach is applied using an umbrella species to represent a faunal group and/or multiple taxa to deliver co-benefits of landscape connectivity. Public lands receive connectivity rankings that are then used to engage potential connectivity partners who commit land units and collectively monitor improvements in habitat quality and landscape resiliency. The ANCHOR approach can guide unprecedented participation across agencies and departments to create public lands networks, while private and corporate lands establish landscape connections. To illustrate the approach, we present an example of native grasslands conservation in the central and eastern U.S. and an emerging partnership with the Department of Defense.
