Rachel Noon Rachel Noon, Phillips Petroleum, Bartlesville, Oklahoma, uses ArcInfo and ArcView GIS for global and regional mapping of data purchased from vendors, specialized interpretations, and for sharing data among the various organizations in the company. The Nature Conservancy brought bison back to the prairie to help restore and maintain this special area. They started with 100 head and have grown to more than 500 in a few years. They range free (because they ignore fences), and it is a sight few people have the privilege to see.

Rob and Shirley Clark Rob J. Clark, manager, Information Technology & Services, Kruger National Park, South Africa, and his wife, Shirley, took a "walk on the wild side" on a wilderness trail in the Kruger Park. Here they are at the trail base camp, standing at the door of a bird hide that overlooks a small pan of water about 25 feet back. The two elephants were frequent midday visitors, as the surrounding bush was very dry. They basically dominated the water hole much to the dismay of other lesser species. Their T-shirts are from Geographic Information Management Systems (GIMS), the Esri South Africa distributor.
