Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are a powerful tool that help visualize and analyze the natural, physical, and cultural landscape. GIS helps decision makers compare planning alternatives, identify conservation priorities, and support resource management.

This website provides a brief introduction to conservation GIS and examples of how The Conservation Fund and its partners utilize GIS for strategic conservation planning and other applications."
