Forest Survey and Mapping: Enhancing Accuracy with GIS and MIS Technology
Forest survey and mapping play a crucial role in environmental conservation, resource management, and biodiversity protection. Traditional methods of surveying forests relied on manual data collection, which was often time-consuming and prone to errors. However, with the advent of modern technologies like Geographic Information System (GIS) and Management Information System (MIS), forest mapping has become more efficient, accurate, and scalable. These tools help in monitoring forest health, land-use planning, and policy-making. In this blog, we will explore how GIS and MIS enhance forest survey and mapping, their key features, challenges, and future scope. The Role of GIS in Forest Survey and Mapping 1. Geospatial Data Collection GIS allows for the…
