How well are we protecting common plants and animals?

The Gap Analysis Project is answering this question by developing the data and tools to support the science. USGS (U.S. Geological Survey) has partnered with other federal agencies and universities to identify “gaps” of biodiversity elements (plant community or animal species) in an area intended for its long term maintenance. Dr. Kenneth Boykin, the Gap Analysis Project Coordinator, will provide an overview of the effort and how it develops data and tools to address that question. Cant Wait? Click Here to learn more.

Dr. Kenneth Boykin is a professor emeritus from the Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Ecology Department at New Mexico State University. He retired in 2020 after conducting research and teaching for 26 years.
