Tutorials in Conservation and GIS
The ECP is constantly trying to develop, support, and improve training materials
to help conservationists from all backgrounds learn about and effectively
apply GIS technology to their tasks and missions. The Conservation
Data Manager (CDM) was an early ECP software initiative to integrate
all types of natural history and systematics data into GIS data models
and applications.
