Course Title: Practical Training on Application of GIS and Remote Sensing in Wildlife and Conservancy Management
Duration: 5 Days
Location: Vital Extra Learning Center
Cost: USD 750
Course Description
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) play an important role in conservancy and wildlife management since the concerned resources are spatial in nature. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) involve collecting/capturing, storing, processing, manipulating, analyzing, managing, retrieving, and displaying geo-referenced data. Remote sensing is the acquisition of information about an object or phenomenon without making physical contact with the object. Wildlife management requires reliable and consistent information on the abundance and distribution of species as well as their habitats and threats. The application of remote sensing (RS) and geographic information system (GIS) in wildlife management and conservation aids in data collection and analysis of wildlife abundance, their distribution as well as providing data suitable for conservation planning and management.
