It is with empirical data that conservation planners and decision makers will have the information needed to select the best sites for preservation.
For many decades, protected areas (PAs) have been considered by decision makers and conservation practitioners as one of the most common policies to promote biodiversity conservation.
Developed for conservation practitioners, decision-makers, governments, NGOs, community leaders, donors, educatiors, researchers and students working in the field of biodiversity conservation and natural resource management.
By comparing the perceptions and attitudes quantified and presented in this baseline study as well as results from future replication of this study, researchers can provide relevant information for decision makers and forest conservation managers to deal with potential conflict of interests between PFM and the needs of the local people.
Additionally, analysts should be responsible for reviewing and researching the relevant literature in order to conduct theoretically grounded and empirically supported analyses and present an intelligence product useful for conservation area decision-makers.
The book concludes by identifying ways that decision makers can remove roadblocks to conservation, and provides a blueprint for implementing conservation plans.
To help land trust decision makers in selecting solid conservation projects, a GIS suitability model was created based the land trust's own land protection criteria.
Having multiple options can generate new hypotheses and decisions at more local scales or for more specific conservation purposes not yet identified by stakeholders and decision makers in the region.
Indeed, these results can further assist the decision makers in implementation of suitable conservation program to reduce soil erosion.
Our study is relevant for managers and other decision makers such as concession owners, conservation area managers and auditors as our results illustrate how indigenous people's knowledge can provide urgently needed data with little cost.
