Wildlife
Global climate change, habitat loss, and human disruptions, such as pollution and deforestation, can cause wildlife fragmentation, extinction and threaten the biodiversity of the earth. Woodlands, Wetlands, and Watersheds
GIS is a tool that can be used to prevent damage to the valuable resources and habitats of our woodlands, wetlands, and watersheds. Marine
GIS is used around the world to acquire and manage oceanic data as well as analyze and map marine habitats, water quality, species distribution, species behavior. Sustainable Practice
The growing human population and its demands on the earth's resources generate a need for sustainable practices in order to continue its use of essential, life-supporting resources. Landscape
Preserving the earth's natural landscape is often an overlooked aspect of conservation. Humans have influenced the change of the land so much that often its original features are lost.

Sustaining biodiversity and preventing fragmentation, extinction, and natural resource depletion are crucial to conservation of the environment. The ability to use GIS technology as a tool to monitor habitat change, track wildlife demographics, and predict future land and resource use is essential to conservation goals and practices. The spatial and thematic aspects of GIS technology enable users to overlay various data to delineate and predict the future of our resources, land, ocean, plant life, and wildlife. This geoprocessing enables decision makers to implement laws and programs that will protect and sustain the environment and its resources.

GIS is a tool that manages, analyzes, and models data from our environment so that we can make decisions based on that information to better conserve its resources and protect its biodiversity.
