Overprediction of species distribution models in conservation planning: A still neglected issue with strong effects

, 2020
Species distribution models (SDM) are increasingly used in conservation planning to identify priority areas for the establishment of protected areas. Nevertheless, the quality of SDM varies widely and may compromise the effectiveness of protected areas ...

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 ...

Incorporating putatively neutral and adaptive genomic data into marine conservation planning

Conservation Biology, 2020
The availability of genomic data for an increasing number of species makes it possible to incorporate evolutionary processes into conservation plans.

Practical actions for applied systematic conservation planning

Conservation Biology, 2019
Systematic conservation planning is intended to inform spatially explicit decision making. Doing so requires that it be integrated into complex regulatory and governance processes, and there are limited instances where this has been achieved effectively.

Integrating priority areas and ecological corridors into national network for conservation planning in China.

Science of the Total Environment, 2018
Considering that urban expansion and increase of human activities represent important threats to biodiversity and ecological processes in short and long term, developing protected area (PA) network with high connectivity is considered as a valuable ...

Combining habitat suitability models and spatial graphs for more effective landscape conservation planning: An applied methodological framework and a species case study

Journal for Nature Conservation, 2018
In response to the negative effects of habitat fragmentation on biodiversity, habitat network conservation and restoration has become a central objective in conservation planning.

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 ...

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.

After the Crash: the conservation-planning assemblage in an era of austerity

European Planning Studies, 2019
This paper focuses upon the practice of conservation applied through the planning systems of three European countries, Ireland, the Netherlands and England, here termed conservation-planning. The values and validated practice of conservation-planning are
