Conservation Planning and Management

The long-term viability of natural habitats and species relies on effective and practical conservation planning, management, and monitoring. Planning allows decision makers—land managers, scientists, landowners, planners, and communities—to assess current status and define goals and objectives to benefit key resources.

Management implements specific actions to protect or enhance resources, such as removing invasive species, planting native species, and controlling pollutants or erosion. Monitoring tests the effectiveness of management actions and allows us to refine management practices based on results (adaptive management).

At CBI, our ecological training, land management experience, knowledge of environmental regulations, and expertise with computer mapping technologies enable us to develop effective conservation plans, management actions, and monitoring programs.
