International Conservation Mapping Contest AWARDS

The Esri/SCGIS International Conservation Mapping Competition was organized to find and recognize the best conservation mapping work in the world today. We specifically used the term "mapping" in order to take in the wide variety of digital and online work that have expanded our concept of mapping well beyond static paper maps. In all we received over 100 entries representing countries and projects all over the globe. We are especially grateful to the international Society for Conservation GIS, who played a critical role in reviewing and juding all of the entries. Comprised of Conservation GIS practicioners and senior organization staff from every major non-profit conservation group and many environmental agencies and businesses, SCGIS is the foremost society representing and supporting Conservation GIS professionals worldwide (www.scgis.org).

Name Changes for ArcGIS 10.1

Among the changes planned for the early 2012 release of ArcGIS 10.1 will be the names of the various levels of the software program.  ArcView, ArcEditor, and ArcInfo are being dropped for the more self-explanatory nomenclature of ArcGIS for Desktop Basic, ArcGIS for Desktop Standard, and ArcGIS for Desktop Advanced (via APB and James Fee).  The reason for the change?  Esri explains in the Summer 2011 edition of ArcNews:“The reason for these modifications is to reinforce the fact that, regardless of where and how ArcGIS is used, it is the same system.” The new names make far better sense; I always felt the name ArcView should have been dropped when Esri deprecated its ArcView 3.x program.
