The Pantanal Gets an Integrated Conservation GIS	A Solution Takes Hold	Pilot Project Begins
Comparing Data	Upper Paraguay River Basin

Story of Success

The Pantanal pilot project is on track for completion by mid 2002, and initial results underscore the utility of a trinational GIS solution.

A GIS database for the pilot area, along with general base information from satellite imagery, will soon be completed. A new data set depicting areas with significant change in the last 10-20 years will be available. Analysis and map production in this area, at a general level, will soon be possible. (However, field verification and finer detailed information are dependent on full funding.)

A team of local organizations with GIS capacity in Bolivia, Brazil, and Paraguay will continue to develop and maintain the integrated database for the entire.
