    A cloud database as a management tool for land under conservation
    (2018-06-21) Rampartab, Chanel; Mortimer, Garth; Turner, Andrew; Forsyth, Therese; Pence, Genevieve; Mitchell, Andre; Parker, Mohamed
    CapeNature is responsible for the conservation of biodiversity across many types of sites, each with its own life stage, with the data accessed and analysed by different audiences. Because of this complexity, institutional knowledge is not easily accessible and digestible. To address this knowledge management gap, CapeNature is working on developing a cloud-based database consisting of approximately 15 tables relating to geographic and legal details of each site; a record of technical assistance each site receives; their biodiversity values; as well as a record of threats and risks. The database will be accesscontrolled and easy to use, and will help us to update registers automatically. It will also serve as a project management tool by tracking progress (or dormancy) of each site and allowing for strategic and meaningful interrogation of data. By consolidating all sites and having access to the data, CapeNature and partner organisations will be able to plan complementary projects, avoid duplication of work and identify gaps in the landscape.
