It will be interesting to see the shifts in species habitats and migrations based on the changing climate and will hopefully let us understand how our actions affect the other species that live on this planet. I recently read an article on how the black bears in Florida have now left the endangered species list, however they still must be monitored and conserved (article found here: http://blog.izilwane.org/florida-black-bear-no-longer-endangered/). This map would be very beneficial for this. In addition I like how it will allow users to add their knowledge and feedback to the map. I read another article on a zoo in Belize who works to preserve the jaguar and tapir species (mentioned in this article). It would be wonderful if the zoo could utilize this program to help others see the species in the area and how they are endangered!
