Conservation Geography: Case Studies in GIS, Computer Mapping, and Activism describes the ways in which GIS technology is revolutionizing the work of nonprofit organizations and conservation groups worldwide as they work to save the earth’s plants, animals, and natural resources. This book uses case studies to demonstrate how computers and GIS synthesize information into a single, analytical framwork and transform the way various environmental problems and conservation issues are identified, measured, and resolved.
