Abstract
For the realization of a wise game management in the Land of Schleswig-Holstein (Northern Germany), the hunting association of Schleswig-Holstein in collaboration with the Institute of Biogeography of the University of the Saarland is implementing a computer - based wildlife management system to monitor game and endangered species Main aim of this system is to monitor, analyze and visualize the distribution, the quantity and the possible chorological changes of game and endangered species to establish a valid data basis for political discussions related to hunting, agriculture and nature preservation. One essential requirement in the realisation of such a cadastral is the definition of an adequate sampling design to obtain representative and comparable information from field working. Another demand is the availability of an appropriate system to handle the data, collected in the field. Especially in longterm monitoring, we have to collect voluminous data sets, to handle with Environmental Information Systems as todays adequate tools in view of the permanent demand for a fast and qualified action at the environmental sector. Geographical Information Systems are normally the functional kernel of such Environmental Information Systems, because of their capability to realize spatial analyses, important especially for detecting chorological changes of organisms.
