Abstract
  • The workshop emphasized large-scale conservation planning: the networks of conservation lands that are being planned at state and regional levels across the country. Ideally, this approach will help preserve the country's rich biodiversity by protecting its most viable habitats and species populations. This strategy represents current theories on the application of conservation biology principles to wildlife preservation, and is conservation biologists' recommendation for curtailing loss of habitat and biodiversity. Workshop organizers felt it was crucial to understand how local land use planners view such plans. Among the messages repeated at the workshop was that existing land use planning tools can be used to protect biodiversity. The conservation plans presented at the workshop showed how a variety of incentive-based pro-grams and regulations can be applied locally to protect biodiversity. These presentations also indicated that planners can and do make efforts to assemble networks of conservation lands but that land acquisition — by conservation organizations and/or federal agencies — is not the only solution to protecting lands of conservation value.
