MONITORING NATURE is part of an integrated webnet system that together make up NATURE WORLDWIDE, the official website of the World Institute for Conservation and Environment, WICE. It is a seamlessly integrated network of strongly related web sites. For monitoring purposes you will also need the use of GIS software for which we recommend that you consult our websites http://www.ilwis.org and http://www.gis4biologists.info. The former website offers free for downloading the world's most user-friendly AND most economical integrated raster and vector GIS software, an open source GIS, originally developed by an academic training institution from the Netherlands. For representative and efficient protected areas and ecosystems monitoring, an ecosystems map should make part of the baseline. To get an idea what a good ecosystems map looks like and how it is made, we recommend that you visit our website http://www.ecosystems.ws. For a better understanding, the coherence of protected areas systems and its consequences and needs this has for protected areas monitoring, we recommend you visit our webpage: http://www.nationalparks-worldwide/national_parks/national_parks_systems_development.htm. From this page you can download our famous document "Protected Areas System Planning and monitoring" and the MICOSYS protected areas system analysis and financial monitoring tool. NATURE WORLDWIDE deals with these and many more different topics on nature, the conservation of nature, natural resources management and national parks and protected areas. A roadmap to these different themes is given on our general natural resources management page or you can follow the links from our navigation bar on the left side of this page or our site map. The navigation bar on your left will help you find your way through the system. Enjoy your visit to our site!
