 UNEP-WCMC
has been pioneering the delivery of interactive map-based conservation
data on the Internet for many years.
The
Centre's Interactive Map Service (IMapS)
has been specifically designed to allow users to create customised
maps online to meet their individual information requirements.
IMapS can be created for specific regions, incorporating information
on environmental sensitivites such as
protected areas, breeding areas, species and background information.
