Climate change has affected Cuenca Ecuador. One effect is increased air pollution. Having an appropriate number of trees is essential to sustain life everywhere. The goal of this project, sponsored by Gustavo Morejón of Save.bio, was to determine the most feasible method to conduct a tree census. Through literature review, interviews, and fieldwork, a methodology consisting of evaluation tools and data organization tools was developed and pilot-tested to collect data for different methods that could be implemented. The results of this project have been recommended to Save.bio with new and improved methods of conducting a census and public education.
