Photo Point Monitoring (PPM) is a powerful
technique that can be used to monitor specific resources
of interest. It allows for detailed analysis of change
over time of such things as vegetation, stream beds, soil
erosion, and more. It can be used to show, for instance,
how a restoration project changes over time, or a before
and after look of a development project.Taara
Environmental can create PPM systems for specific conservation
or development projects and, if desired, teach individuals
how to conduct future monitoring. We are primarily involved
in short-term projects due to the complex issues of long-term
data storage. Taara Environmental offers both conventional
and digital PPM services. The digital process was co-created
by Mr. Durand as a major project at Royal Roads University.
