INTRODUCTION
Geographic
Information Systems (GIS) involve collecting/capturing, storing,
processing, manipulating, analyzing, managing, retrieving and displaying
geo-referenced data. Remote sensing is the acquisition of information
about an object or phenomenon without making physical contact with the object.
Wildlife management requires reliable and consistent information on the
abundance, distribution of species and their habitats as well as threats.
Therefore, the application of remote sensing (RS) and geographic information system
(GIS) in the wildlife management and conservation aids in data collection and
analysis of wildlife abundance, their distribution as well as providing data
suitable for conservation planning and management.
