Potentially greater acceptance of sacrifices and other difficult policies which must be implemented to protect critical or endangered areas. Sense of unified mission among disparate agencies involved in the protection of endangered species and their habitats. The data generated by this project may be useful in data exchanges with over conservation organizations. The specialized analysis operations and habitat statistics will be of interest to other researchers and conservation planners who may be able to help support the analysis costs. Below is a more detailed delineation of the capital requirements and labor tasks associated with the project.
Several decisions warrant some explanation in interpreting the chart.
First there was considerable discussion surrounding the allotment of staff labor time. We estimate each of the three analysts allotted 18 hours per week to the project. This appears under the Operations Section. Were this project to extend over a longer time period and should the data be utilized by other applications, we would expect these costs to grow considerably to include the upkeep and management of current data resources. Training costs are those labor expenses associated with presentation and training of others on the system we've developed including staff time to educate on script development.
