The Iowa Monarch Conservation Consortium has a specified objective to identify the information and resources needed to sustain and advance monarch butterfly conservation efforts in Iowa. Data collected from various sources are behind Iowa’s goal to increase habitat and the best management practices the consortium recommends for planting and maintaining habitat.
CSSM manages data for the Iowa Monarch Conservation Consortium. Tasks include visual display of data, especially with geographic information system technology, coordination with the data service team from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and maintenance of the HabiTally Android/iOS App.
