Founded in 2009 by Ian Elliott and Helen Edwards, abcGIS specialises in the development of applications for ecology and conservation. Our team have over a decade of experience working with spatial tools for conservation including applications in the United Kingdom, North Sea, Red Sea, Caribbean and the Antarctic.

BAP Species Map

abcGIS, in collaboration with UK charity Pond Conservation have developed a web GIS, supported by Natural England through Defra's Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund. The website enables users to find out which pond-associated Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) species occur at any site in England, which such species occur near existing mineral sites and also provides users with advice on pond creation for pond-associated BAP species.

We are currently in the process of extending the BAP Species Map to include a further 40 BAP species that are associated with ponds. New species being added include a range of plants, mammals, amphibians and invertebrates.
