ARC Internet Map Server (IMS):
An effective and accessible tool
Explore the
IMS Browser.
The ArcIMS Conservation Mapping tool provides critical and timely
data to local groups that are working in the field on behalf of the most
critical wildlands in the Southern Rockies. By merely connecting to the
internet and clicking a few buttons, groups have access to data on
wildlife linkages, threatened and endangered species, roadless area
delineations, current and consistent forest service and BLM boundaries,
and more.
ArcIMS is a powerful, scalable tool that enables environmental activists
to quickly design and manage Internet mapping services for their
on-the-ground work. ArcIMS software enables users to integrate local
data sources with Internet data sources for display, query, and analysis
in the Web browser they already have without the need for additional
software.

Another very useful ArcIMS site is
GeoCommunicator
is sponsored by the Bureau of Land Management and the US Forest Service.
As an integral part of the National Integrated Land System (NILS),
GeoCommunicator is designed to provide geospatial data and products from
NILS to the public. GeoCommunicator facilitates the sharing of
geographic data among federal, state, local, and private individuals and
organizations interested in providing the public with national datasets.
GeoCommunicator provides a central site for the distribution of
geospatial data in three separate applications:
Land and Mineral Use Records,
Federal Land Stewardship and
Land Survey Information System.
This ArcIMS tool was made possible by funding from the
Southern Rockies Conservation Alliance and by funding,
software, and expertise from the
Colorado
Environmental Coalition
