Interactive Vital Sign Map


One of my projects this summer is to develop a web-resource that introduces the 9 Vital Signs. One will be able to navigate through the site by clicking on the the circle logos at top. Bold yellow circles then appear on the map to the left and show at which national park units we monitor each natural resource. In addition to being a simple graphic that shows where each vital sign occurs, a text box on the right explains, succinctly, why the vital sign is important and the current trend/status. Quick facts and stats appear at the bottom. Finally, depending on how thorough we want this web-resource to become, there could be links to other multimedia and communication projects (podcasts, photo galleries, etc).
