Abstract
Web GIS for Tiger Monitoring Protocol Track: Forestry, Wildlife, and Fisheries Management Author(s): Arpita Gupta, Sanjay Gahlout, Rajesh Gopal The objective of Project Tiger is to ensure maintenance of a viable population of tigers in India and to preserve the areas of such biological importance as a national heritage. Project Tiger in its ongoing process collects a lot of data including daily monitoring and compartment level information. The data needs to be refined and presented in an organized way to facilitate further analysis of and use for other management. The paper envisages the development of a "Decision Support System" to assist Project Tiger in its day-to-day management in the GIS domain. "Web GIS for Tiger Monitoring Protocol" will be used to serve maps along with different mapping functionalities; facilitate online monitoring of field data; conduct queries; display and view mutliple data sets; search for site specific locations interactively, and also allow access, update, and maintainance of spatial and non-spatial data.
