INTRODUCTION

The power of GIS may be harnessed for natural resource management. This can assist in making critical decisions in the management of the earth's resources. There is enormous room for GIS application in habitat restoration, crop planting, resource extraction, monitoring of endangered species and many more issues of natural resource management. This course is suitable for biologists, botanists, ecologists, foresters, NGO staff, environment conservation staff, environmental regulators, hydrologists, planners, miners, petroleum engineers, foresters, farmers and related profession.

DURATION

5 Days

COURSE OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:

• Use geo-information and earth observation techniques in support of natural resources management.
