About

   This hands on training was targeted at enabling ground staff of the forest department and wildlife trackers in systematically collecting GPS data which would feed into the spatial decision support system for park management. Additionally existing GIS capacities and needs were identified and training to forest department biologists was provided in maintaining databases. A follow up workshop and training is planned in the coming year which will cover use of open source software, setting up of decision support systems and wildlife monitoring programs.
