CMSi – An international system for managing sites for conservation

An international consortium of organisations from the Netherlands and the UK have produced a new software system for managing conservation sites anywhere in the world. The system, CMSi (where “i” stands for “international”), integrates planning, monitoring, work recording and reporting into one highly functional and easy to use software tool.

Using the very latest mapping, database and web technology, CMSi is already used to manage over 1,000 important protected sites across Europe and beyond. It is used by governmental, charitable and private sector organisations to manage international site networks as well as individual parks and reserves.
