Participatory 3-D Modelling of an Environmentally Sensitive Area
Track: Research & Sciences
Authors: Danielle Lewis-Clarke, Elizabeth Sumadh

The Matura National Park (MNP) is Trinidad & Tobago’s 1st Environmentally Sensitive Area (ESA). The use of GIS has been used by local tour guides and community members for surveying but the full potential remains underutilized. The recent use of P3DM showcased the value of the MNP and GIS whilst allowing stakeholders to have access to user-friendly, relatively accurate and efficient spatial information which can be used towards conservation and management of the area. Keywords: P3DM, GIS, ESA
