Abstract
An apparent problem in the interpretation of landscapes, navigation, description of research areas and the overall inability of making sense of their positions on the ground was observed amongst the students enrolling in the program of Conservation Biology at Universiti Malaysia Sabah. This became even more pronounced during proposal presentation, result presentation and the presentation of the final year projects. As a remedial step, GIS skills was introduced and made compulsory to all students. The overall goal of this initiative is to blend the skills into their academic and field training, preparing them for a more meaningful exploration into the environment, both during their academic years and beyond. We present here how the problem was identified and the levels of skills that are introduce to solve the problem.
