bioregional planning

Bioregional planning is a strategy for managing land and resources based on natural ecosystems rather than political boundaries. It involves understanding the geography, ecology, and communities of a specific area to create sustainable development plans that reflect local needs and environmental conditions. By focusing on natural regions—like watersheds or coastlines—bioregional planning aims to balance economic growth, environmental conservation, and social equity, ensuring that decisions support the long-term health of both people and the planet. This approach fosters collaboration among stakeholders, promoting sustainable practices tailored to the unique characteristics of each bioregion.
