Savitsky and to the management of the public resource Hassan and Hutchinson 1992 . Conservation and resource management is increasingly interdisciplinary and interdepartmental in nature. Building the capacity to contribute to and receive from the rapidly growing body of data is a valuable product. Implementation of Digital Mapping Technologies in Tropical Developing Countries It is useful to evaluate the costs and constraints in implementing digital mapping technologies. Successful applications have been demonstrated in the utilization of image analysis GIS and GPS table . The three technologies have been applied in measurement of deforestation identification of suitable habitat for various species and a variety of protected area wildlife management issues. However the initial investment in advanced mapping technologies is high and many remote sensing technology transfers have failed to address the unique Table Examples from the Literature Demonstrating Applications in Image Analysis GIS and GPS Technology Application Citation Image analysis Measure deforestation Identify habitat Crane Sage grouse Snow leopard Fearnside 1993 Tucker Holben and Goff 1984 Herr and Queen 1993 Homer et al. 1993 Prasad et al. 1991 gis Protected areas Wildlife management Bear Elephant Cougar Ecosystem modeling Deforestation trends Campbell 1991 McKay and Kaminski 1991 Parker et al. 1991 Pearsall 1991 Riebau et al. 1991 Clark Dunn and Smith 1993 Holt 1991 Falconer 1992 Gagliuso 1991 Curran 1994 Johnson 1993 Ludeke Maggio and Reid 1990 gps Rainforest populations Forest management Park resource inventory Habitat mapping Wilkie 1989 Gerlach 1992 Thee 1992 Bergstrom 1990 Lev 1992 Fletcher and Sanchez 1994 Wurz 1991 Digital Mapping Technologies 33 conditions of the recipient country Forster 1990 . The reasons for failure in technology transfer within developed countries are similar to the causes of failure of technology transfer in tropical developing countries but the .
