I specialize in GIS(Geographic Information Systems）applications. I am interested in the conservation of tropical forests and GIS allow us to understand and analyze the issue spatially. After working at the University, I currently creat maps for media, write for magazines and do research. I am certified by GISA as GIS expert.
