i would like to create a map that would show white tighed surelli sightings in my housing area and a deforested area nearby
For the sake of this course, my map using the GIbbons sightings will show observation data of Gibbons sighted in the Chế Tạo Nature Reserve in northern Vietnam.
From my own research, I would like to create a map with invasive frog observations in western France.
A map that I could create would be to show the occurrences of wildlife vehicle collisions along a mountain pass. This map would convey what wildlife is crossing, where they are choosing to cross, and the rate of occurrence of wildlife vehicle collisions.
My aim is to show the number of households (Russel Street in FIngo Village) that still have the temporary house structures that were provided by the Makana municipality after the 2008 storm that hit Makhanda, South Africa.
Since I am using the gibbon data provided, I want to convey number of gibbons, the size distribution, and the different threats they’re facing in the distribution area polygon. My goal is to create a map that is easy for the view to discern the data in an aesthetically pleasing way.
Hi @MV_Marra , apologies for the late response. I’m still new to QGIS but what I expect to use for my nap are vector layers for the atoll and the reef surrounding it and a raster layer for the coordinates of the sites we monitored.
In your study for representing water flow the best I can come up with are arrows or some symbol to represent them. I think there is a feature in QGIS for this.
To show the monitoring shelters and eagle sighting
I’d like my map to display epiphyte species distribution and concentration overlaid over seagrass genotypic diversity at my sampling sites
I do not have my own data recently, but if I were to do a conservation related study in the future it would be on otter species and their population distribution in South Africa (I recently learned there are about 2 species found here)
I want to put a recent ground-hornbill sightings distribution map on a base layer that shows topography, to visualize the ground-hornbill elevation preferences. I’m pretty sure they stick to lowlands and valleys but I want to see it on an area map.

In future I would like to be able to create my own map to record exactly location where alien invasive plants occur in the nature reserve where I work for effective monitoring and maps for recording fire belt tracers where we burned.
Sounds like an interesting plan… I am interested in see how you represent the elevation data! The sightings are points (vectors) the elevation what will be?
I would like to create a map with the snakes sightings and the different habitats (very semplified habitats Urban - semi urban - agricultural land - non dense forest - dense forest - , to underline what species is more likely to be encountered in proximity with human settlements
I would like to convey complicated reservoir water quality data in a way that laymen can easily interpret its meaning.
Hello @Clara, no worries and thank you very much for it. Great suggestions about the arrows, I think it would work and I didn’t know there is such a function on QGIS!
A map showing where I have placed quadrats along different transects at a site where I conducted fieldwork.
I want to create a map showing different point of avian species of 
in Nigeria
Currently I don’t have data for a map, but I would ideally want to show landscape characteristic such as type of land use - Human settlement, forest, water body, grassland, road, railway, etc. and Occurrence data of the animal in question.
My massage is to show vector layers for multiple sites, showing specie distribution and population connectivity for my samples.
My map would show sampling sites along the South African coastline. Not much detail needs to be present, perhaps a layer of salinity and heat gradients to show biogeographic breaks and patterns.
