Even more functional massifs

By
Clément has just published new services associated with the massifs - Now it is possible to have a massif made up of different zones, these zones can include holes - It is possible to import a file corresponding to the perimeter of the massif - The display of entries associated with the massif uses clustering (display of hexagons in areas of high density of caves) and a limit size of the massif to avoid inappropriate use of the service This system responds to a request from the NSS but also from other organizations to have massifs which correspond to areas which benefit from particular protection.

Inventory of the Caves of Bolivia and Peru

By
Jean-Loup Guyot provided the GSBM documents, but above all, he did a tremendous amount of work to ensure that Grottocenter provides a complete inventory of the caves of Bolivia and Peru. For Bolivia this only represents 56 Caves https://grottocenter.org/ui/countries/BO However, the GSBM has conducted numerous explorations in Peru, and it is now possible to discover the results on Grottocenter, where 922 caves have been recorded https://grottocenter.org/ui/countries/PE This is based on information archived on https://cuevasdelperu.org/ by the GSBM, the Vulcans, the Dolomites, and the ECA Lima. Thank you again, Jean-Loup, for sharing this and for the time you devoted to it.
