Computers to the rescue

Article Abstract:

The Arizona Game and Fish Department is using computers to determine the vegetation favored for feeding by the Sonoran pronghorn, the largest mammal in the Western Hemisphere. These mammals are found only in certain areas of the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge. Satellite pictures of these favored areas are analyzed by computer to develop other areas where these mammals can survive and increase their population. Grazing and agriculture have decreased the population of these mammals.
