An effort to characterize vegetation cover, fragmentation, disturbance and biological richness across the landscape is organized in the form of Biodiversity Information System (BIS). Field samples of key ecological characters have been used for geospatial extrapolation. The species data base has been linked with above spatial details. BIS allows identification of gap areas, species / habitat relationship and helps in biodiversity conservation planning by setting priority areas.
