  • Analyzed literature from Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar.
  • Reviewed 88 peer-reviewed case studies regarding GIS applications.
  • GIS is primarily used for documentation and mapping, with limited application in policy formulation.
  • Identified challenges include static analyses and inconsistent integration of social, intangible, and governance dimensions.
  • Potential exists for GIS to support decision-making in conservation if properly integrated with planning frameworks.
