11. (15 minutes) Projects and Public Display Ideas… Reading List or other Handouts/Posters/Suggestions…

12. Groves et al. 2002 TNC Seven Step Program: 1 Identify Conservation Targets 2 Collect Information and Identify Gaps 3 Establish Conservation Goals 4 Assess Existing Conservation Areas 5 Evaluate Likelihood of Persistence 6 Assemble Portfolio of Conservation Areas 7 Identify Priority Conservation Areas -Landscapes -Habitat Loss and Degradation -Scale, Ecoregions, Species and Ecological Processes -Focal Species -Management of Conservation Areas left until later

13. Groves et al. 2002 Scale

14. 1. Identify Conservation Targets -Biodiversity: 1. Composition 2. Structure 3. Function -Biotic and Abiotic (Surrogates) -Species, Communities, Ecosystems Threatened, Endemic, Focal, Keystone -Course Filter vs. Fine Filter -Data Availability

15. 2. Collect Information and Identify Gaps -Data Land ownership, Human population, Biology, Ecology Gap Analysis Rapid Assessment, Pulse, etc. 3. Establish Conservation Goals -How much, where -Quality vs. Quantity -Environmental and Disturbance Gradients -Replication

16. 4. Assess Existing Conservation Areas - Which components of conservation targets already protected? 5. Evaluate Likelihood of Persistence -Think long term -Incorporate Natural and Human Disturbances 1 Size 2 Condition 3 Landscape context processes, connectivity

17. 6. Assemble Portfolio of Conservation Areas -What areas will be consistent with targets/goals -Based on size, or ownership, etc. 7. Identify Priority Conservation Areas -Resources (and sympathy) are Finite -Degree of existing protection -Conservation value -Threat -Feasibility -Leverage

18. Reserve Design (CH8) Habitat - physical and biological surroundings of an organism Landscape - Large area that comprises more than one type of habitat distributed in numerous patches -Fragmentation -Habitat Use -Temporal and spatial scales important - Succession Species vs. Process (practicality, ideal) p. 222 Management on Non-Reserve Lands.
