Nature conservation
GIS can be used to record locations as part of a nature conservation project. The value of the GIS is in providing instant access to information about the geographical spread of sightings or plantings so patterns can be detected. It also allows for a user-friendly way for individuals to input information into the system. Mammals Trust UK is just one of the organisations which make use of GIS in this way.
