| Abstract: | This paper presents an approach for aiding the identification and acquisition (here as: acq.) of priority properties for biodiversity conservation. Motivation for this paper comes from the acknowledgement that property acq. choices face the challenging context of competing land uses, multiple objectives and limited funding. The approach described in this paper, based on the principles of decision analysis, links the many scientific objectives of biodiversity conservation with practical management concerns and public decision-making needs. A case study is presented showing how the proposed approach was used by British Columbia Parks to design and implement a property evaluation and decision support tool for acquisition of private lands as part of the provincial Protected Area Strategy (PAS). |
