NATURE_GIS
Definition
- Nature-GIS is a network bringing together the different stakeholders in protected areas: users and experts in IT and in nature conservation. Its objectives are: improving reporting on the implementation of the EU policies, raising awareness on GI-GIS in this field, supporting access to data and information. The objectives will be actualised into a reference outcome, "Technical guidelines for data infrastructures for protected areas", a companion product for operators, whose content will be verified through web access to structured geoinformation on protected areas using OpenGIS technology. Through Conferences, its website, Newsletters and other means Nature-GIS will operate an operational network able to involve new external users and to carry out actions of dissemination at different levels to diffuse the obtained achievements and to propose them to all operators in this field. It is intended to become a permanent and structured group active in the field of GIS for protected areas. The objectives of the project are: - to offer a contribution to improve information for EU policy making and evaluation, particularly for improving reporting related to the implementation of the EU Nature Protection and Biodiversity policy area; - to offer as well a contribution to raise awareness regarding the use of GI-GIS in this field. The proposal should be seen in the larger frame of its contribution to the different European documents and conventions that require research, identification and exchange of information to ease and promote conservation of biodiversity; - as per the VI Environmental Action Plan, to contribute to develop and broaden the dialogue among all levels of responsibility, from the EU to the local level, e.g. will support public access to data and information, in the EU and in the new Accession countries. Very operationally, Nature-GIS could become a focal point to identify specific GI-GIS requirements for "Nature Conservation & Biodiversity" in the E-ESDI development.
