COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course will explore the key concepts and challenges of conducting conservation planning at the landscape scale, including how site-scale implementing actions can flow from a landscape-scale plan. The course will draw on the Conservation Standards and other frameworks but will address the multi-disciplinary needs and tools of landscape planning including spatial analyses and optimization, incorporating socioeconomic factors and community input, the importance of partners, and how to sustain what must be a dynamic effort into the future. Eight guest instructors from multiple organizations around the world will augment the course with their specific expertise and experience.
