Zonation Tool for plantlife and wildlife

This compendium, prepared by the Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government (DPIDG) of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), aims to capture emerging trends in digital responses of UN Member States against the COVID-19 pandemic along with other digital government initiatives and provide a preliminary analysis of their main features. These cases are shared for exchange of information so that Member States can learn from each other and possibly create new partnerships.

Data on vulnerable species is incorporated into land use planning in the Greater Melbourne area to assist prevent additional biodiversity and habitat loss. A software called Zonation was used to analyze species-specific connection requirements and select land for conservation planning using data from 30 vulnerable fauna species.
