Under the background that the global environment is facing serious challenges, environmental protection has increasingly become the major concern of governments and the public in various countries around the world. With the progress of science and technology, Geographic Information System (GIS), as a powerful spatial information technology, is gradually playing an indispensable role in the field of environmental protection. By integrating multi-source environmental data and using advanced spatial analysis algorithm, GIS technology provides strong support for environmental monitoring, resource management and natural disaster response. What’s more, it also promotes the scientific and accurate environmental protection work. Based on this, this thesis will deeply discuss the application status of GIS in environmental protection, and deeply study its future development. It is also supposed to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for promoting the in-depth application of GIS in the field of environmental protection.
