Conservation planning is a field of study that focuses on the identification, prioritization, and implementation of strategies to protect and preserve natural habitats, wildlife, and ecosystems. This involves assessing the current state of biodiversity, identifying areas of high conservation value, and developing plans and policies to mitigate threats such as habitat loss, climate change, and invasive species. Conservation planning also involves engaging stakeholders, collaborating with government agencies, and utilizing scientific data and tools to inform decision-making processes. The ultimate goal of conservation planning is to ensure the long-term sustainability and health of ecosystems and species.
