Systematic conservation planning in Thailand.
… for designing networks of reserve systems is systematic conservation planning, which is designed to identify conservation priorities on the basis of analysing spatial patterns in species distributions and associated threats. The designation of PAs of Thailand were initially based on expert …

Incorporating costs and processes into systematic conservation planning in a biodiversity hotspot
… to stem the rapid destruction of biodiversity, conservationists must set clear priorities for action. Systematic Conservation Planning (SCP) is an approach that uses spatially explicit data to identify areas that meet conservation targets efficiently, usually focusing on species’ representation. …

The application of systematic conservation planning in the succulent Karoo biome of South Africa
Systematic conservation planning is about making spatially explicit decisions regarding the use of land, based on the observed or expected biodiversity present at a site and the potential for that same site to support alternative /and-uses that are not compatible with the persistence of …

Systematic conservation planning and South Africa's Forest Biome: An assesment of the conservation status of South Africa's forest and reccomdentations for their conservation
… collation, analysis and interpretation for a systematic conservation plan for the entire South African forest biome. This was done by addressing the following questions: What is the current state of the forest biome? How well are forests protected? How threatened are they? What are the …

An integrated planning approach for the conservation of freshwater ecosystems in South Africa
… manner to maximise the outcomes of conservation effort. The concept of systematic conservation planning was developed to address this challenge. It offers a suitable framework for achieving conservation goals in the face of other competing land uses. The principles of systematic …

Enhancing the conservation of freshwater biodiversity through improved freshwater conservation planning techniques
… management and environmental water requirements. Systematic conservation planning provides a strategic and scientifically defensible framework for doing this. Pioneered in the terrestrial realm, uptake of systematic conservation planning for freshwater ecosystems has been slow. While broad …

Using primates to establish priority conservation sites in Mexico.
… species is dwindling fast and with limited conservation resources available, it is essential that we invest those resources in areas with great biodiversity value. The Uxpanapa Valley in Mexico is one of Mesoamerica's largest forest remnants, is considered as a main biodiversity hotspot and …

Do we know enough? The impacts of data biases, insufficient sampling and degradation on biodiversity estimates in Tanzanian forests – implications for conservation planning
… of continued loss of biodiversity and limited conservation resources, conservation needs to be as efficient as possible. This relies on an unbiased knowledge of the distribution of biodiversity and the threats to it. While we cannot afford to delay conservation action until better data are …

Marine stressor and receptor interactions: A new approach to incorporate multiple stressor impacts into marine spatial management
… a more holistic approach to Marine Spatial Planning and better inform management decisions, spatial assessment approaches are needed which quantify the accumulating impact of multiple stressors on coastal species and habitats. This thesis investigates stressor-induced change in the density …

Marine ecosystem classification and conservation targets within the Agulhas ecoregion, South Africa
… and mapping, and (ii) to determine the conservation targets for selected national marine ecosystem types to inform improved management of the marine environment, through Marine Spatial Planning processes. Visual surveys of the seabed were conducted to quantify epifauna during the ACEP …
