NZGiC supporting Wingspan.

Taking all historical sightings from various spreadsheets mapping them in ArcGIS Online, pointing ArcGIS Survey123 at the feature layer and having the public submit new Falcon sightings anywhere in NZ.

The Bird of Prey Center review these sightings and decide if they want the information to be seen by the public.

• What problem did you solve with GIS? What advantage did GIS give you?

Using ArcGIS QuickCapture to quickly add fine scale infestation information against a parent as related records. Utilizing a hybrid approach of online / offline layers within a Mobile map package to ensure arcade calculations occurring on live layers while giving end users enough map context with offline layers to navigate effectively.

• What types of geospatial analysis did you use? Explain how and why.

Arcade expressions within QuckCapture to create points as related records from parent points on same property and populate values from a lookup table and intersecting polygons and parent ArcGIS pro to assemble and publish the Mobile map package (mmpk)

• What are your findings or results?

Best to keep aerial imagery as online tile layer. This can be cached in app for when users goes offline. Include vector basemap as backup for when no service. Property boundaries available as offline layer as this does not cache well online. User needs to see boundaries and basic details. basemaps need to be same coordinate system. Include lookup table and layers for calculations in mmpk as online reference layer. Reference layers have no symbology, just needed for arcade calculations when data is sent. Need to be careful with symbology and use labels where possible as there are no popups / legend with Quikcapture

What are the benefits of the project?

Reduction of the load on FME for post processing. All expressions happen as data is sent to ArcGIS Online
Arcade Calculations always happening on the latest data
No offline areas - Sync errors impossible
Lightweight mmpk file.
User doesn't need to download new mmpk all the time
Don't need to script update of mmpk file from ArcGIS pro. Can just do this manually every now and again

Join us as we share a story of collaboration, commitment and shared aspirations to protect, restore and revive over 11,000 hectares of protected lands near the Whanganui Awa.
In 1998, Maraekōwhai Whenua Trust entered into a Ngā Whenua Rāhui kawenata (covenant) to protect their lands. This significant event led to a total of five neighbouring kawenata being signed over a 10-year period, with four separate legal entities.
Ngā Whenua Rāhui has supported the conservation efforts within the Maraekōwhai Operational Area – as tangata whenua contractors carry out operations to control pest plant and pest animal populations to allow the indigenous biodiversity, taonga species and natural habitat an opportunity to regenerate and thrive.
Ngā Whenua Rāhui shares the story of Maraekōwhai using ArcGIS StoryMaps. We have combined maps, operations dashboards, multimedia and narrative in our StoryMap to share as an interactive storytelling and reporting tool. We can then share this story back to the people of the land and those who are doing the work.
We hope that this form of visual storytelling and reporting provides a deeper connection, ongoing inspiration and a strong sense of achievement for all involved.
