| Abstract | Abstract This paper presents an approach for aiding the identification and acquisition of priority properties for biodiversity conservation. Motivation for this paper comes from the widespread acknowledgement that property acquisition choices face the challenging context of competing land uses, multiple objectives and limited funding. The approach described in this paper, based on the principles of decision analysis, links the many scientific objectives of biodiversity conservation with practical management concerns and public decision-making needs, including transparency, accountability, communication and effective use of scarce funds. After a brief introduction, a case study is presented showing how the proposed approach was used by British Columbia Parks to design and implement a property evaluation and decision support tool for acquisition of private lands as part of the provincial Protected Area Strategy. Although the case study is specific to a public protected areas strategy (PAS), the approach is applicable to other land acquisition contexts. General recommendations are discussed in light of this experience. |
