Tutorial on QGIS for KBA Identification and Delineation

Accurate site delineation requires basic knowledge of Geographic Information System (GIS) software. To assist, a tutorial for the open-source GIS software Q-GIS has been developed. This tutorial covers essential skills such as creating shapefiles, understanding map projections, and calculating polygon areas—key steps for defining KBA boundaries and calculating species’ range areas from IUCN data.
