Building Capacities for conservation planning using open source tools

Objectives: 

The project intends to build capacities of conservation groups and individuals working in the Western Ghats. While the primary focus will be on partners of the CEPF-ATREE initiative, other agencies, particularly research institutions involved in conservation, will also be invited.

These workshops are part of a project funded by the CEPF-ATREE Western Ghats Small Grants programme. The goal of the project is to build the capacities of conservation groups, particularly those active in the CEPF programme in the use of GIS and remote sensing applications.
