This document describes the sport of "Shinny the Tree Whistler", which involves hiking in the rainforest and then having contests to see who can climb trees the highest before a whistle blows from a boiling kettle. Players must stop climbing and whistle when they hear the whistle, and whoever reaches the greatest height while following the rules is the winner. The rules prohibit going out on limbs, using ropes or spikey boots, and whining about injuries. The contests continue with increasing amounts of water in the kettle to make the whistle blow sooner.
The advent of technology and the vision to keep track with the latest technology, we the RKM group now indulging us in the field of GIS to integrate the mission friendly environment.
Moreover, the branch of GIS is a peculiar stream to convey the message of nature in visualizing, analyzing, interpreting the wide geographically concern scenario. A decision making tool that helps provide a better assessment and utilization of the resources.
