Abstract
Geographic information system (GIS), science and tecnology of georefrence datas analysis, can assimilate many parameters at once and this ability with modelling statistic bases supplies a suitable set of appling ecological models for ecologists. One of these ecological models is habitat model for wildlife species that it is important in fild of managemant and conservation wildlife species. Models predicting the spatial distribution of species and suitability habitat are currently gaining interest. As they often help both in understanding species niche requirements, their use has been especially promoted to tackle conservation issues, such as managing species distribution, assessing ecological impacts of various factors (e.g. pollution, climate change), risk of biological invasions or endangered species management. Accordingly, we explore the habitat models to introduce the approach to wildlife managers.
