The ESRI Conservation Program is the non-profit support arm of the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI). We have helped to create and develop spatial analysis, computer mapping and geographic information systems (GIS) capability among thousands of non-profit organizations and individual projects of all sizes and types worldwide.
ESRI recently formed a new "Climate Change GIS" working group involving every aspect of the Institute and our users. We believe that climate change is profoundly cross-sectoral in its impacts and integrative information tools like GIS are going to be critical in its resolution. (Click here for a brief introduction). With it's help, the ESRI Conservation Program will offer our first "Climate Change GIS" program at the upcoming 2008 International Conference this August in San Diego
