Learn how to make landscape-level conservation plans. Save $75 when you sign up for our Landscape Planning course before August 30!
DESCRIPTION:
Conservation planning happens at multiple scales from site-specific to transcontinental. While all conservation actions on the ground must eventually be applied at the site scale, the “landscape-scale” has been recommended for decades as a suitable scale for planning. The landscape scale brings ecological and socioeconomic context to inform decisions by understanding ecological connections and flows, population-level information about species, human stressors affecting sites but originating outside of them, and policy. This course will explore the key concepts and some tricky 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. Ten guest instructors (live or pre-recorded) from multiple organizations around the world will augment the course with their specific expertise and experience.
DATES:
September 28, 2026 - January 10, 2027
PRICE:
From $295 student/unemployed, $395 employed
