Self-Hosted Open Source Digital Land Twin for Conservation and Agroecology
Hey Everyone!
I made this digital twin software for my own land to help me be a better steward of it (I live in the Adirondack Park) and I generalized it so anyone can make one of their land too (or conservation groups can use it too).
By default it pulls a lot of good helpful geospatial data that's free and publicly available nationally like LANDFIRE EVT and GAP Species richness, but it also supports adding your own. For example, in the Adirondack Park, where I live, there's a government group that publish layers about rare and endangered communities, and I found out part of my land intersects with an endangered damsel fly community. I've been working to find ways to encourage their multiplication.
There are a lot of neat features in here for conservationists, and the whole source code is free and open source. You can check it out here on GitHub. I really made this with conservation and permaculture specifically in mind, so I hope you'll tell me if there's anything I can add to make it more useful for conservation purposes.
