Geographic Information Systems (GIS) or Spatial Information Systems (SIS) has been a growth industry within conservation for approximately fifteen years. In simple terms it is computer mapping, but it involves creating, storing and managing geographic information to solve geographical problems. Whilst it used to be wholly a specialist subject, it is now considered that at least a low level of ability is required. This skill also applies to the mining, local government, health, transport, property development and marketing industries. This Skill Set is based on QGIS freeware.
