Environmental Stewardship Networks for Wildfire Resilience

Harvard Dataverse hosts a map of actors and partnerships involved in wildfire resilience and environmental co-stewardship across pilot landscapes. The dataset supports identifying partners, detecting gaps in activity, and tracking coordination efforts. It is a living, scalable resource maintained by Branda Nowell.

Use Cases

• Analyze geographic scope of organizations to map spatial patterns of stewardship work.
• Identify potential partners by exploring documented partnerships and collaboratives.
• Detect gaps or overlaps in activity by examining funding and effort concentration data.
• Track investment across landscapes using data on funding and coordination efforts.

Strengths

• Focuses on two institutionally diverse pilot landscapes, providing comparative context.
• Designed as a living and scalable map, indicating potential for updates and expansion.
• Summarizes diversity of actors engaged in the wildfire crisis, capturing a broad network.

Limitations

• No quantitative data on row count, column count, or sample size is provided.
• Data scope is limited to specific pilot landscapes, not a broad geographic region.
• Relies on self-reported or manually mapped actor and partnership information.
