AmazonGIS.org is a collaborative research program that uses the tools of GIS (Geographic Information Systems) to create an interactive, web-based resource for Amazon conservation.

The program endevors to display GIS maps of the Amazon basin with overlapping layers of conservation activity (protected areas, national parks, etc.). It is intended to be a continually updated system for reference primarily by individuals whose work affects conservation in the Amazon and secondarily as a clearinghouse of Amazon conservation-related information for the general public.

You can visit the headquarters and lab at the Amazonia Science Gallery of the National Zoological Park.
