Conservation Planning in a Changing World
Conservation planning is the process of locating, configuring, implementing and maintaining areas that
are managed to promote the persistence of biodiversity and other natural values. Conservation planning is inherently
spatial. The science behind it has solved important spatial problems and increasingly influenced practice. To
be effective, however, conservation planning must deal better with two types of change. First, biodiversity is not
static in time or space but generated and maintained by natural processes. Second, humans are altering the planet
in diverse ways at ever faster rates.
