GIS, or Geographic Information Systems, play a crucial role in nature conservation. Every day, mapping and spatial analysis are aiding conservation decisions, protected areas designation, habitat management on reserves and monitoring of wildlife populations, to name but a few examples. Want to learn more about how remote sensing is used in conservation? Check out the first two episodes of this season of Tech Tutors, where our Tutors answer the questions How do I use open source remote sensing data to monitor fishing? and How do I access and visualise open source remote sensing data in Google Earth Engine?
You can also check out our Virtual Meetup Archive for a range of panels that overlap with Remote Sensing & GIS topics.

Hi Sheryl,
This sounds great, thank you for sharing! As you may be aware, we had the UK National Earth Observation Conference 2018 here in the UK just last week (and you can see the abstracts here).
I'll share your call for submissions with colleagues in the Cambridge conservation community, noting your September 21st deadline.
Best wishes,
Thom

Hi Thom,
Thanks a lot for the response! The abstracts were very interesting and I hope we can share more of the work from you and your colleagues.
Please feel free to send me a message or an email regarding this matter.
All the best and thanks,
Sheryl

Is anyone using off-the-shelf GIS data collection apps? e.g. Collector for ArcGIS
8 March 2018 5:11pm
14 March 2018 11:28pm
So Collector is really for editing data, or adding GIS info in the field in a map interface. Works offline. It's ok for that purpose, you can take your entire map, basemap offline to the field, you can see what data has been collected in real-time, but can be buggy and if you accidentelly log out you're completely out of luck with no connection.
I use it to track drone flights - i.e. I flew here, with some notes.
Survey123 is ESRI's solution for ODK or form based surveys. I like it a lot, it's flexible, you don't need people to log in and it just looks better than ODK and works on iOS, and doesn't require the annoying server set-up of ODK and has great offline capability. But it's form-based, you don't really see the data you are editing in a map. But the best part are the analysis features where you can see stats on responses and such.
Let me know if you have more questions, we have used survey123 extensively, also in places where people have limited cell network, and limited knowledge of smartphones.
28 March 2018 12:40pm
Hi Steve,
Over on Twitter, @RLong has a suggestion that might be useful?
Dave Moskowitz https://t.co/ZJhAPTgzyx has developed some @ESRI Collector workflows for his work with @ConservationNW. You might get in touch with one of them for advice.
— Robert Long (@RLongEco) March 28, 2018
James Bevan also has some feedback:
I’ve used iGIS quite a bit to map points, lines and polygons. Created shapefiles can be emailed or stored in Dropbox and transferred to ArcGIS. The paid version also can calculate area and distance. Cons: somewhat fiddly to use.

Hi Steve,
I have used GIS Pro by Garafa on an iPad. I found it was one of the only apps that allowed importing of custom raster images. This feature has allowed me to take an image into the field, and ditize on it directly. I am mapping individual trees in airborne remote sensing data, so accurate digitizatoin with reference to my specific image is a must.
Other useful features are that you can create and edit vectors (points, lines, and polygons) and you cache basemaps (Google, Bing...) to work offline.
Happy to talk more about my application and experience with this app.
