GI technology brings tremendous analytical and visual power to the management of natural resources.

This is why natural resource managers are increasingly relying on the accuracy of information provided by GIS to gain clearer insights into the complex interplay of social, environmental and economic factors, which in turn guides their decisions and actions. With GIS, decisions are taken on the basis of a deeper understanding and accurate information, rather than guesswork.

Examples of where the power of GIS can be applied to natural resources management include:

• Precision Farming
• Farm prioritisation and Yield Analysis
• Land Cover / Land Use Planning Mapping
• Habitat Inventories & Preservation / Biodiversity Mapping
• Water Resources Management
• Mining Concession Databases, / Mineral Exploration and Mine Remediation
• Geodatabases of Oil Blocks, Fields and Wells / Oil and Gas Installations and Pipeline Mapping
• Combatting Deforestation and Desertification
• Environmental Sensitivity Mapping / Oil Spill Response Analysis
• Contaminated Lands Register and Remediation
• Vulnerability Analysis for Erosion Control
• Social and Environmental Impact Analysis
