GIS, or Geographic Information Systems, play a crucial role in nature conservation. Every day, mapping and spatial analysis are aiding conservation decisions, protected areas designation, habitat management on reserves and monitoring of wildlife populations, to name but a few examples. Want to learn more about how remote sensing is used in conservation? Check out the first two episodes of this season of Tech Tutors, where our Tutors answer the questions How do I use open source remote sensing data to monitor fishing? and How do I access and visualise open source remote sensing data in Google Earth Engine?
You can also check out our Virtual Meetup Archive for a range of panels that overlap with Remote Sensing & GIS topics.

Earth Ranger Projection

30 June 2022 12:40pm
Hi Turu,
To be able to assist you, I would like to understand the following first:
1. What feature of data did you export/get from EarthRanger? i.e shapefile? CSV? etc.
2. What coordinate system was your data from EarthRanger?
2. When plotting did you match/project with the correct coordinate system?
3. Do you think there was an active layer with a different projection system in your work frame?
4. Did you check whether your work frame projection was correct to match what you were plotting?
28 July 2022 11:47am
HI benard sorry am replying late,and yes i the data was exported as shapefile 2.i used same projection which is 37N WGS 84 on both apps and still the exported shape file projection read away from the wanted location
funny story is,the exported shapefile pins quite well when using QGIS but then on ARC GIS pro i don't get what the issue is
