Conservation Planning Process

Dr. Robert Baldwin of Clemson University explains in this video the steps involved in the conservation planning process.

Conservation planning identifies and prioritizes lands that encompass important natural or cultural resources across the landscape (e.g., critical watersheds, habitat for rare or threatened species) and develops protection and management strategies for these lands. It is a process where science is at the core of planning, but the science is informed by groups of stakeholders using their on-the-ground knowledge and expertise. The goal is to create interconnected reserves and matrix of managed lands that are resilient to the many environmental changes that are occurring rapidly on the landscape.
