1987年8月，洪都拉斯国民议会指定该国大部分热带山地云雾林为受保护森林（Congreso Nacional 1987）。第87-87号法令创建了37个保护区（图1），为每个单元规定了严格的保护措施，并规定核心区的界限遵循1，800米，2，000米或2，100米的等高线，这取决于进一步的研究。五年后，大多数保留地的划界问题仍未解决，主要原因是缺乏最近的森林覆盖率数据，以及规划者对“如何”和“在何处”划界存在分歧。本研究探讨了地理信息系统（GIS）的作用，在评估的方法和位置的限制，具体来说，它提出了一个基于GIS的技术，评估洪都拉斯的云雾森林保护区的可行性轮廓为基础的限制，使用Guisayote生物保护区作为研究领域。
In August 1987, the National Congress of Honduras designated most of the country’s tropical montane cloud forest (TMCF) as protected (Congreso Nacional 1987). Decree 87–87, which created the 37 reserves (Figure 1), set forth strict conservationist measures for each unit and stipulated that the core zone limits follow the 1,800 m, 2,000 m, or 2,100 m contour, depending on further studies. Five years later, the issue of delimitation is still unsettled for most of the reserves, due largely to the dearth of recent forest coverage data and the disagreements among planners concerning the “how” and “where” of delimitation. This study examines the role of a geographic information system (GIS) in evaluating the methodology and placement of limits; specifically, it presents a GIS-based technique that evaluates the viability of contour-based limits for Honduras’s cloud forest reserves, using the Guisayote Biological Reserve as a study area.
