Welcome

abcGIS was established to provide high quality, state of the art, web and GIS applications using the latest emerging open source technologies. Founded in 2009 by Ian and Helen Edwards, abcGIS specialises in the development of database and spatial applications. Our team have over a decade of experience in software engineering, primarily developing tools for conservation including applications in the United Kingdom, North Sea, Red Sea, Caribbean and the Antarctic.

Our capabilities extend to any website, database or GIS application. We offer GIS needs analysis, database creation, web interfaces, report generation and data modelling and analysis. We also offer GIS training, and advanced website hosting.

Conservation GIS workshops

Each year, abcGIS provide workshops on Geographic Information Systems for Conservation Science at the annual Student Conference on Conservation Science

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.
