Wildlife Tracking Program

Wildlife Tracking Program, State of Arizona

State IT Innovation of the Year

The Arizona Game and Fish Department is overhauling the data management system used to track the location of wildlife in the state. The state’s biologists, researchers and wildlife managers are consolidating all of the wildlife tracking data into a new, cloud-based management system known as the wildlife data warehouse. The efforts are part of Arizona’s 10-year plan for managing wildlife and the natural environment.
