Conservation Planning

Conservation Planning (formerly GEOG 0310)
How do maps contribute to systematic, science-based conservation planning? In this course we will investigate how layers of the human and natural environment interact to influence biodiversity at local and regional scales. Drawing from case studies in Vermont, we will compare geographical methods to describe and evaluate habitat fragmentation and connectivity for forest, grassland, and aquatic species. Through a series of practical exercises and field trips, we will conceive, plan, and solve problems with open-source and cloud-based GIS and critically reflect on the production of maps for different use environments, including field work, public presentations, and scientific reports. (GEOG 0251). 3 hrs. Lect./3 hrs lab.
