ArcGIS Solutions for Protected Area Management

A holistic approach for sustaining protected areas

Intelligent systems to fortify nature amid growing threats

Poaching, deforestation, the expanding human footprint and climate change are among the rising threats to biodiversity globally.  As these threats lead to increased fragmentation of critical habitats and the loss of key species, it’s critical to reverse the trend with time-tested, intelligent systems which enable informed and timely management decisions.
