Conservation Planning : Balancing the Needs of People and Nature Paperback / softback
by Craig Groves, Edward Game
Paperback / softback
Description
The authors draw on their extensive "hands-on" experience to provide an essential textbook for practitioners, students, or researchers of conservation, natural resource management, or landscape planning and architecture.
This title provides the methods, tools, approaches, and case studies to plan a nature conservation project from inception to implementation and monitoring and evaluation.
It draws on a wide range of disciplines and literature from conservation biology, landscape architecture, and land-use planning to decision science, natural resource economics, and sustainability. The book's primary audience is conservation scientists, planners, and practitioners in nongovernmental organizations; natural resource agency biologists and scientists; and professional landscape architects and land-use planners in both developed and developing nations throughout the world.
With decades of experience as conservation planners, the authors have combined the fields of spatial planning (establishing priority places for conservation) and strategic planning into one overall planning approach.
The book's underlying philosophy is that effective planning is really about making tough choices of where to allocate resources to achieve the conservation outcomes of a project, program, or conservation initiative.
