Phase 1 Report: Conservation Planning and Design for Appalachian LCC PDF
-
Conservation planning is concerned with spatially identifying and prioritizing lands and waters important for functioning ecosystems and biodiversity. It is a science utilizing geographic information systems and large datasets to generate scenario-based maps of conservation potential. These scenarios can balance social, economic, and regulatory constraints with processes that occur over time and space. The planning process itself, as well as final products, helps practitioners prioritize where and when to take conservation action.

Nature and Society
-
The field of research focusing on "Nature and Society" seeks to understand society's attitudes and behaviors as it relates to how we maintain, protect, and enhance natural and cultural resources. It does so by applying data and information from social sciences to resource issues to explain why people value certain resources and the benefits they receive from those resources.
