Abstract	This article introduces the basics of geographical information systems (GIS) and explains how the Taita Hills project can benefit from them. GIS are used to store and manipulate geographical data. In a GIS data is stored in databases either in raster or vector format. Databases are widely used because of their flexibility in managing data. The Taita Hills database contains at this stage only a limited amount of different themes as roads, administrative area boundaries etc., but will be extended as the need arises and as more data is collected and produced.
