We provide GIS internships to international conservationists and advocates working for nonprofit organizations, protected areas, universities, and other public interest institutions. Our internships offer an opportunity to obtain advanced GIS training at BSCI's GIS lab in Montana and at the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) campus in California. ESRI is the recognized world leader in development of GIS software, and through its Conservation Program it donates GIS products to conservation organizations and sponsors training courses at ESRI's Learning Center focused on the most recent GIS technologies.

In addition to offering GIS training, our interns attend the annual SCGIS Conference and ESRI User's Conference held in California. These conferences allow the interns to meet colleagues from all over the world, present their work to a wide audience, and to keep up with the trends in the conservation science and the GIS community. Since 1995 our International Internship Program has sponsored dozens of international conservationists.
