Coyote Populations in Arizona

Introduction
Coyotes have a very large population distribution. The coyote population range exists in Arizona. By viewing where their populations are the greatest, I will determine if their populations are affected or not affected by humans. 

Objectives
  • Create an active map
  • Show coyote distribution
  • Show Arizona population
  • Show protected areas for wildlife
  • Determine if there is anything that is altering their population

Methodology
I will obtain data on coyote populations, protected areas, and people distribution in Arizona.  After I gather those numbers, I will create a map using ArcGIS to show the different layers of information.

Deliverables
This project will help AZ residents learn about coyote distribution across their state. In this project, I hope to bring awareness about this species.

    This looks like a good start to your new research plan, I would just try to add in some additional data sources! Maybe ask Dr. Bogan if he has any advice/prior research sources since he does a lot of work with Coyotes.

The Grey Wolf range extends through most of North America. In the United States, there are three main areas where there are these wolves. Area one includes Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. Area two includes Minnesota, Missouri, and Wisconsin. The third area includes Arizona and New Mexico.  Grey Wolf Range Grey Wolf Range in the USA Because Grey Wolves are very adaptable animals, they can be found in a variety of habitats. Although they are generalist s,  they prefer to live in boreal forests, high altitude grasslands, temperate forests, and temperate grasslands. These areas tend to have much larger mammals, which is an important food resource for wolves. Preferred Grey Wolf Habitat Humans have had a history of fearing these animals, and have hunted them almost to extinction. Although there are conservation actions being taken in the three main areas I listed above, their populations have a long road to recovery. The goal of my...
