Building robust conservation plans

Conservation Biology, 2014
Abstract Systematic conservation planning optimizes trade‐offs between biodiversity conservation and human activities by accounting for socioeconomic costs while aiming to achieve prescribed conservation objectives. However, the most cost‐efficient conservation plan can be very dissimilar to any other plan achieving the set of ...

Systematic Conservation Planning with Marxan

2017
Conservation planning is the science of choosing which actions to take where for the purpose of conserving biodiversity. Creating a system of protected areas is the most common form of systematic conservation planning. Hence, we will focus on the process of protected area selection in this chapter.

Reorienting Systematic Conservation Assessment for Effective Conservation Planning

Conservation Biology, 2011
Abstract:  Systematic conservation assessment (an information‐gathering and prioritization process used to select the spatial foci of conservation initiatives) is often considered vital to conservation‐planning efforts, yet published assessments have rarely resulted in conservation action.

Conservation Planning when Costs Are Uncertain

Conservation Biology, 2010
Abstract:  Spatially explicit information on the financial costs of conservation actions can improve the ability of conservation planning to achieve ecological and economic objectives, but the magnitude of this improvement may depend on the accuracy of the cost estimates .

Objectives for Multiple‐Species Conservation Planning

Conservation Biology, 2006
Abstract:  The first step in conservation planning is to identify objectives. Most stated objectives for conservation, such as to maximize biodiversity outcomes, are too vague to be useful within a decision‐making framework.

Habitat Conservation Plans

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2014
The development of transportation infrastructure requires a long planning, funding, and implementation cycle that often takes more than a decade for a particular project. Environmental mitigation is usually planned and implemented late in this process and on a project-by-project basis.

Preventive and planned conservation

2023
Κατά τη διάρκεια των τριών τελευταίων δεκαετιών, έχουν καλλιεργηθεί και διαδοθεί σε ευρωπαϊκό επίπεδο θεωρητικές και πρακτικές προσεγγίσεις προληπτικής και προγραμματισμένης συντήρησης στη διαχείριση της αρχιτεκτονικής κληρονομιάς. Τα παραπάνω παραδείγματα διακρίνονται από μια προσπάθεια ελέγχου των αποφάσεων και κατά συνέπεια από μια πιο ...

Forest Conservation Planning

2014
This chapter reviews the application of Ecosystem Management Decision Support (EMDS) to conservation planning in a large forest landscape. A significant challenge faced by conservation planners is explicitly defining and mapping values of interest. EMDS is a powerful decision support application development tool that can be used to facilitate explicit ...
