We live in an ever changing world where balancing natural, political and industrial needs is delicate but necessary. Monitoring change helps us to formulate hypotheses to solve difficult answers in a complex world. It allows us to look back in time to see our successes, where we might have done better, and how far we have come. The authors hope that through this document formal and informal educators will find value in integrating technology with scientific, conservation and observation skills learned through tracking, recording and evaluating change over time through the years, thus creating a history that will be useful to future citizens.
