As a part of our long term commitment to nature and biodiversity conservation, we now launch the initiative free GIS for nature, aiming at enabling parks, reserves and natural areas across the globe (in particular those from developing countries) to fully use the power of advanced GIS tools, even if they have limited resources. We will provide all the skills necessary for building up a GIS infrastructure, including local training, at the lowest possible cost, on a cost recovery basis. Help spreading the word, for a more effective nature conservation.
