Using Big Data

• Awareness: Big Data creates awareness in people, recovery agencies, and governments to take necessary, appropriate and timely actions. 

​

• Information: Software helps manage data, identify, and analyze the behavioral patterns, eating habits, habitats, health problems, migration history and trends, adaptability, and the impact of climate change.

​​

• Planning: Big Data tools allow scientists and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to increase the protection of threatened species by strategized planning: the time involved, benefits of recovery, and cost factors.

​

• Budgeting: Big Data can help in fund allocation and fund raising, expense control and monitoring to achieve the priorities and objectives of the campaign.

​

• Problem Identification: Big Data can identify the issues, size of the problem and offer alternative actions.

​

• Decision Making: Big Data gives a clear picture of connecting and missing links in the data, giving us an idea of human impacts and modifications  to aid the recovery program.

​

• Forecasting: Big Data can give an accurate projection of the numbers that can be recovered or protected in the stipulated time with the existing funds. 

​

• Alerts: Big Data quickly identifies any unusual, sudden changes in activity or behaviour, or health conditions, such as decreases in birth rates, increases in death or disease.

​

• Targets: Big Data gives a clear picture for future goals to save the environment and the species. 

​

• R & D: Big Data provides a vast amount of historic data that is needed to deliver change.

​

• Transferability: Big Data used to save some species can be applied to other endangered species to speed their recovery.
