Item Towards Sustainable Wildlife Management through Geospatial-Temporal Visual Exploration(The Eurographics Association, 2024) Thomasen, Manuel Mounir Demetry; Jørgensen, Mikkel V.; Svendsen, Lukas S.; Sørensen, Esben Bay; Walsh, Gareth; Kusnick, Jakob; Jänicke, Stefan; Gillmann, Christina; Krone, Michael; Reina, Guido; Wischgoll, ThomasAmidst increasing human activities disrupting natural ecosystems, there is a pressing need for sustainable wildlife management. This paper introduces a multiple-linked view system, an interactive tool designed to visualize wildlife populations, with a focus on hunting game, to foster discussions and developments towards greater sustainability. Two data sets are used throughout the paper reporting the hunting bag per year in Denmark. National and international reports are used to exemplify the tool's features and usability and to provide insights into the health and trends of huntable species populations. Through userfriendly interfaces featuring geospatial choropleth maps, temporal charts, and sunburst diagrams, the overarching application facilitates the exploration of wildlife population dynamics across species, municipalities, and years. The tool aims to assist policymakers, researchers, and the public in making informed decisions to preserve sustainable wildlife through visual analytics. Our approach's development, design, and usability highlight the potential of interactive visualizations in environmental policy and conservation efforts. The paper discusses the implications of human activities on wildlife, the significance of sustainable management, and how our visualizations contribute to addressing the biodiversity crisis.
