The ultimate purpose of this project is to 1) increase the pronghorn population, 2) increase the black-footed ferret population, 3) retain institutional knowledge by retaining current staff, 4) increase tribal knowledge of wildlife ecology, 5) leverage this project with other existing projects, and 6) utilize the expertise of staff to continue to build our program.

Chippewa Cree Indians of the Rocky Boy's Reservation, Montana
This project would create a GIS database for the Tribe and would be utilized by the NRD and other tribal entities. GIS would be used for retaining all records and mapping all assets and tribal resources. This mapping of assets would be used in decision making, creating baseline data for our tribal resources, and would allow for quick access, within minutes to increase participation and knowledge for the Tribe regarding where our tribal assets are located. GIS would be able to track and record emergencies like wildland fire starts and other natural disasters, as well as all project work.
