Systematic conservation planning provides a framework for identifying conservation priorities. The goals and constraints of the problem, both conservation and socio-economic, are explicitly stated, allowing identification of trade-offs and conflicts, and assisting to find a resolution. Systematic conservation planning is an evolving discipline at the interface of biological, mathematical, economic, and social sciences, and has informed conservation decisions in both terrestrial and marine realms. |
