A Geographic Information System (GIS) enables organizational integration of data from different sources (geographic and non-geographic data). In other words, it is a system that collects, stores, analyzes and visualizes data. GIS provides us with decision-making support tools. The Geographic Information System can be used to map areas suitable for the establishment of wind farms, to identify environments to be protected thanks to the various available information analyzes, to estimate the surface area of home ranges and even to carry out studies of the environment.
