Supporting Conservation as a
Land Use
Speaker:
Leslie Honey
Vice President of Conservation
Services, NatureServe
Conservation has often been
considered a non-use of land, what is left over when other human needs have been
accommodated. More recently, the importance of conservation as an intentional
land use has been recognized for its role in supporting a variety of human
needs: cultural, recreational, and ecosystem services with significant
socioeconomic benefits.
NatureServe, an international
conservation nonprofit organization, supports assessment and planning for
conservation land use through a variety of products and services. The
NatureServe Network of state natural heritage programs collect and provide data
on the location of rare and imperiled species and ecosystems as well as
expertise in the conservation of biodiversity.
In this presentation featuring
Vice President of Conservation Services Leslie Honey, we will highlight
data and a variety of online tools from NatureServe with some examples from
around the U.S. to illustrate how they can inform better land use
planning.
