Landscape Conservation Planning

Landscape Conservation Planning is an approach that focuses on maintaining and restoring natural ecosystems while considering human needs and activities. It involves analyzing land use, habitats, and species to create strategies that protect biodiversity and ecosystem services, such as clean water and air. Planners assess the landscape to identify important areas for conservation, manage resources sustainably, and connect fragmented habitats. By integrating scientific research with community input, this process aims to balance environmental health with economic and social interests, ensuring that both nature and people can thrive together in the long term.
