Geography And Conservation

Incorporating Geography as a useful tool for preparing the input of models and tool is critical. Moreover, a lot of data is available in this era of Open Data and It can be easily retrieved from the internet and integrated into open source GIS desktop software, such as QGIS , open layers used for web-mapping and data querying(review my github projects here . Often,some data is stored in files on harddisks,  or DVDs,making  it hard to be found including lack of metadata thence makes it hard to evaluate the quality of the data and to reuse the data  It should be noted that, data shared/visualized in maps leads to more insights and better policy making. Sharing data in the cloud lets data users spend more time on data analysis rather than data acquisition With this versatile open source program you can compile a map by organizing, combining and linking data. Analyze the data, add your own layout and prepare the map for publication

Open data for science is a type of data focused on publishing observations and results of scientific activities available for anyone to analyze and reuse.   Food security is key as an objective for open science data knowing when best to and not to plant in a region and how best to store food using available research data including weather data can effectively reduce or else wipe away losses incurred in agriculture which adequately leads to food security stability in a region . This in turn assures income for farmers and other interested parties.  Open data has its disadvantages it is only accessible to the marginalized communities who may need to relay on it more thence,may not usually be obtained in time expected,an indicator that information dissemination to such marginalized community would be needed open data are bound to enable more Africans to have access to land they need for housing and various businesses
