Shaping the Future with Conservation PlanningThe need for this book coalesced over an eight-year period, 1999-2007, during which the Craighead Institute held an annual meeting and workshop at the BBar Ranch near Livingston, MT. Conservation scientists from a variety of organizations and disciplines would meet informally to discuss various conservation projects and problems. It provided a fertile ground for cross-disciplinary innovation and collaboration.
Through meetings, and discussions with colleagues at ESRI and the Society for Conservation Biology, we assembled a team of authors to contribute key chapters to a book. It was published by ESRI Press in February 2013. The book, Conservation Planning: Shaping the Future, focuses on computer-based tools and procedures that are accessible to anyone working to plan a landscape for conservation. Our goal is to make scientifically credible conservation planning available to a wider audience of conservation practitioners, particularly those in other regions of North America and around the world who may not have access to original sources. The book is also intended for government professionals, planners in city, county and state agencies, and students and policy makers. It is the first step towards working together with standardized tools and approaches to achieve a common goal: the maintenance of biodiversity and ecosystem function.
