Amazon GIS is a collaborative research program that uses the tools of GIS (Geographic Information Systems)
to create an interactive, web-based resource for Amazon conservation.
See Amazon GIS maps.
The program endeavors to display GIS maps of the Amazon basin with overlapping layers of conservation activity, such as protected areas like national parks.
Maps of the Amazon basin.
It is intended to be a continually updated system for reference primarily by individuals whose work affects conservation in the Amazon and secondarily as a clearinghouse of Amazon conservation-related information for the general public.
You can visit the headquarters and lab at the Amazonia Science Gallery.
