Society for Conservation GIS

The Society for Conservation GIS is a professional organization dedicated to using geographic information systems (GIS) to support conservation efforts. GIS is a technology that helps collect, analyze, and visualize spatial data—information tied to specific locations. By applying GIS tools, conservationists can better understand ecosystems, track wildlife, plan protected areas, and address environmental challenges. The Society provides resources, networking opportunities, and knowledge sharing among experts working at the intersection of technology and environmental preservation, ultimately helping make informed decisions to protect natural resources and biodiversity.
