GISAF
Comprehensive Forest Health Management

Digitize the entire forest pest and disease management cycle
What is it and what is it used for?
GISAF is a modular web-based platform for comprehensive forest health management, developed for the Calabazanos Forest Health Center (Regional Government of Castile and León). It centralizes and digitizes the entire forest pest and disease management cycle: recording geolocated phytosanitary alerts, planning treatments, managing inspections, monitoring nurseries and forestry operations, and tracking pathogenic organisms.
The problem it solves
Forest health management previously relied on spreadsheets and disparate, unconnected databases, which made it difficult to coordinate among technicians, track actions, and analyze historical data. GISAF centralizes and digitizes these processes, improving early detection and the ability to respond to outbreaks of forest pests and diseases.
“GISAFdigitizes and centralizes forest health management in Castile and León, putting technology at the service of technicians to protect forests more effectively and efficiently.”
What makes it innovative?
GIS combined with a dynamic field system
Native integration of geospatial information (GIS) that allows for the visualization and management of geolocated phytosanitary alerts on an interactive map, combined with a dynamic fields system that adapts forms to each type of pathogen without the need for additional development. The modular architecture allows new modules to be added independently as service needs evolve.
Expected impact
The platform will help ensure a more agile detection and response to outbreaks of forest pests and diseases, thereby preserving the health of the ecosystems in Castilla y León. The digitization of these processes will reduce the administrative burden on forest health technicians and improve the traceability of actions, promoting more data-driven strategic planning.
