Overview
We are a Zimbabwean born tech-non-profit scientific research and development company leveraging the use of geospatial technology to support conservation and development initiatives in sub-Saharan Africa. Worldwide organizations are increasingly integrating geographic information systems and taking advantage of the power of geospatial intelligence to better understand how both communities and individuals use the land and their need for related services. We recognize that comprehensive use of geospatial technology in developing countries will await customization of training programmes and the development of national, municipal and community spatial databases that are openly shared and accessed in order to effectively and efficiently respond to conservation and development issues. We therefore work to develop and appropriate a giscience capacity – an ability to create, capture, store and manipulate spatial information, understand changing patterns, processes and emphasize relationships among people, places, regions and their environment in space and time. Developing this scientific and technical capacity is increasingly important in the 21st century as the pace of change on the earth’s surface increases to unprecedented levels. Geospatial intelligence enables us to know location (where is it?), condition (what is at?), trends (what has changed since?), patterns (what spatial patterns exists) and modeling (what if?). This enables understanding and when we know we make better -informed and therefore wiser decisions.
