Areas of Innovation and Work

In addition to delivering conservation planning services, our staff is involved in a number of research areas in conservation planning. Many of these are carried out through our program of methodology development for NatureServe Vista and through the Ecosystem-Based Management Tools Program. These include:

  • Integrating biodiversity conservation with other planning sectors such as land use and infrastructure planning and resource management
  • Linking terrestrial, freshwater, and marine conservation planning and resource management (PowerPoint Document, 8.4MB)
  • Sustainable forest planning
  • Developing new software tools for conservation planning such as for modeling habitat connectivity
  • Interoperating suites of tools for conservation planning
