Making the most of the dashboard
Homepage
The homepage summarises up-to-date drone survey data. Data can be filtered by selecting a species of interest (for example the greater glider) from the animal detection list or by dragging the date slider to a desired time-period. Filtering the data will change the number of animals detected (displayed on the line graph), the type of animals detected (listed) and the Local Government Area (LGAs) shaded on the map. LGAs are shaded based on the number of drone surveys undertaken.
Discover animals by Local Government Area (LGA)
Search for animals in your LGA by selecting ‘Explore by LGA’ or selecting the map of NSW from the dashboard’s homepage.
To select an LGA, use the dropdown box to tick the LGA of interest, or select the LGA from the map on the left-hand side. This will filter the data so that only drone surveys done in that LGA are shown on the map and the top five animals detected will be shown in the square pie graph. Filtering for a particular LGA will also change the ‘Total area (ha)’ surveyed and number of surveys completed in that LGA. You can also filter data by dragging the date slider.
