Access & explore: SynBioSys Fynbos offers access to a wide range of documents. Spatial analysis is supported by an integrated GIS with several pre-defined data layers - allowing the user to create maps and integrate own layers, own data points and to create own customized maps. The standalone GIS platform is easy to use and suitable for capacity development of practitioners, researchers and professionals working in the Fynbos Biome. The spatial data also includes Google Earth, and can thus show satellite imagery with own and pre-defined data.
SynBioSys Fynbos allows you to explore the complex interactions between plants, physical environment, spatial patterns and people in a variety of formats: text, papers, presentation, GIS functions, multimedia etc.

Analyse & manage: The integration of data bases and applications such as Google Earth, combined with access to the ALUKA specimens creates unprecedented opportunities for thorough and innovative analysis of a wide range of issues. The application allows the user to create own maps and to export and print synergic data sets and results of analysis. The results can be practically used by land managers and conservation agencies.
