The Human Footprint: A tool for Wilderness Protection

A lot of wilderness can still be found in New Mexico, and to recognize it requires a hard look at where wilderness is not. The human footprint refers to the extent of our disturbance to the land. A model of the human footprint serves to highlight places most untrammeled, natural, and undeveloped. This GIS analysis is an estimate of the cumulative human footprint on New Mexico, attributable to modern human settlement, human access, human land use, and Electrical power infrastructure.

The final human footprint map is a synthesis of ten datasets, weighted and combined in such a way as to reflect a relative contribution to land conversion and biodiversity loss. GIS becomes an especially important support tool for wilderness protection when its scientific results are readily understood – mainly in the form of simple, good looking maps. With a robust database of defensible data, the possibilities for GIS analysis for wilderness support become equally robust, as do the possibilities for wilderness protection. While the Human Footprint can itself serve as a useful tool for conservation planning and public awareness, it can be used for further analysis, such as:

Prioritization of wilderness-quality lands for wilderness protection and restoration work.
Refinement of habitat suitability models to incorporate species-specific response to human land use.
Easy Replication of the model with any new data.

Data sources for this map came from: U.S. Census Bureau, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), New Mexico Energy, Minerals, and Natural Resources Department (NM EMNRD), Petroleum Recovery Research Center, National Inventory of Dams, Nationalatlas.gov, and Southwest ReGAP. The model borrowed methodology from the article Rescaling the Human Footprint: A tool for conservation planning at an ecoregional scale, which appeared in Landscape and Urban Planning volume 87.
