Where Is Support Needed?

Compare ecological need layers with organizational presence. Layers are structured for future connection to EPA, USGS, NOAA, USDA, USFWS, NASA, and related sources.

Ecological risk layers

Toggle layers designed to connect to authoritative public datasets. Current intensities are synthetic DEMO placeholders.

Ecological Support Gaps

Analytical indicator comparing relative need vs. mapped organizational presence — not a funding recommendation.

Classification key

Potential support gap

Higher relative ecological need with lower mapped organizational presence.

Highly supported area

Higher relative need with higher mapped organizational presence.

High organizational concentration

Lower relative need with higher mapped organizational presence.

Lower relative activity

Neither need nor presence scores are elevated in this indicator.
