indepthresearchservice Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 Event: GIS and remote sensing in conservancy and wildlife management Course Venue: Indepth Research Services, Nairobi, Kenya. Event Date: 30th April – 04th May 2018 NITA CERTIFIED RECENT CLIENTS INTRODUCTION Geographic Information Systems (GIS) involve collecting/capturing, storing, processing, manipulating, analyzing, managing, retrieving and displaying geo-referenced data. Remote sensing is the acquisition of information about an object or phenomenon without making physical contact with the object. Wildlife management requires reliable and consistent information on the abundance, distribution of species and their habitats as well as threats. Therefore, the application of remote sensing (RS) and geographic information system (GIS) in the wildlife management and conservation aids in data collection and analysis of wildlife abundance, their distribution as well as providing data suitable for conservation planning and management. REQUIREMENTS The training is designed for participants who are reasonably proficient in English. DURATION 5 Days COURSE OBJECTIVES · To introduce participants to the principles of GIS and Remote Sensing · To introduce participants to concepts of wildlife management and conservation · To expose participants to data capture, input, manipulation and display by GIS · To introduce participants to GPS/GNSS systems · To explain to the participants GIS database requirement and development for wildlife management and conservation · To introduce participants to the application GIS and Remote Sensing techniques in wildlife management and conservation · To develop sound basis of understanding applications of GIS and RS in Wildlife management and conservation through case studies TOPICS TO BE COVERED This course reviews the application of remote sensing and GIS techniques in wildlife management and conservation under the following themes: · Introduction and definitions of key concepts · GIS data management · Mapping · Analysis and Monitoring using GIS and remote sensing · Public participation and mobile data gathering Visit our website for more details How to Participate · Tailor Make a Course · Register as an Individual · Register as a Group · Become One of Our Partners. · Purchase Software · Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s) View related courses · GIS and Remote Sensing in Disaster Risk Management Course · GIS and remote sensing in multi hazard early warning systems Course · GIS and Remote Sensing in Land Cover, Land Change Analysis Course · GIS for Monitoring and Evaluation Course · GIS Analysis for Health Sector Programmes Course · GIS Analysis for WASH Programmes Course The most popular courses · Integrated Soil Health and Fertility Management Course · Diseases Surveillance and Reporting Course · Data Management and Analysis for M&E in Development Programmes Course · M & E, Data Management & Analysis for Health Sector Programmes Course · Advanced Microsoft Excel Course · GIS Analysis for Health Sector Programmes Course · Participatory Rural development Action PAYMENT Payment should be transferred to IRES account through bank on or before C.O.B.23rd April 2018 Send proof of payment to [email protected] View GIS and Earth Observation Institute Course Catalogue For further inquiries, please contact us on Tel: +254 715 077 817, +254 731240802.
