Conservation Management System

Welcome to CMSi

CMSi is the software supported approach to adaptive management of important conservation and amenity areas.

Already used to manage hundreds if not thousands of important sites, CMSi is set to become the standard approach to biodiversity and protected area management.

Developed over many years by a consortium of  conservation organisations, the current version harnesses the latest mapping and database technology to create a highly functional and easy to use software tool.

What does CMSi do?

• CMSi helps you to write your management plans, to implement your management plans and to monitor and review your management. In fact it integrates all these aspects to create a single, dynamic site management system that works for a single site or across multiple sites.
• CMSi ensures that site management is well-planned, evidence-based, objective and rational.
• CMSi automates your routine tasks such as creating work programs, budget forecasting, conservation status reporting, etc.
• CMSi brings all your important site information together into an accessible, one-stop shop that survives organisational and staff changes.
• CMSi enables best practice to be easily shared both within and between organisations.
• CMSi offers flexible and instant reporting including graphs, maps and photos.
• CMSi offers comprehensive in-built mapping functionality.

The CMS Consortium

Behind CMSi is a not for profit consortium of conservation organisations including major governmental and charitable organisations in the UK and the Netherlands. The aim of the CMS Consortium is to ‘improve the quality of conservation and site management’ and this is achieved through the provision of training, the CMSi software and documentary resources.

The CMS Consortium contracts development and day to day management of CMSi to exeGesIS – a specialist information technology and environmental consultancy based in the UK.
