 A comprehensive framework has also been developed to study ecological, social and economic issues in representative locations and to monitor changes over a period of time in order to upgrade the effectiveness of our work at the village and landscape level.FES has a well developed Geographic Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing Facility that supports these studies with spatial information, representation and analysis.In 2010, FES launched Indian Biodiversity Information System (IBIS), a web-based modular and searchable portal to provide reliable species-level information on a single user-friendly platform.
