 EarthMatters.Org is a non-profit
organization engaged in finding practical solutions to natural resource
conflicts, particularly when exploitation affects the distribution of plants and
animals, or encroaches on their habitat. We combine conventional natural
history observations with information technology and remote sensing tools to
implement meaningful conservation action at the local and institutional
levels.

|
 EarthMatters.Org utilizes the latest
satellite-based surveying and mapping techniques (Global Positioning System
or GPS) to create digital views of regional and local aspects related to
environmental problems. Frequent updates to geo-referenced databases
(Geographic Information System or GIS) facilitate the design of practical
alternatives to manage and protect wildlife, reformulate projects, and
support the evaluation of habitat change.

 EarthMatters.Org is firmly committed to
involve local people in conservation management. Our international team
combines state of the art tools and multidisciplinary training with a
cooperative extension approach that encourages informed grassroots
participation. We educate and also learn from local residents while
conducting hands-on investigations through cooperative arrangements secured
with institutions, local organizations, and international partnerships.
