Site Accessibility And Prioritization Of Nature Reserves

Abstract

Spatial layout of nature reserves is important in conservation planning, but existing studies mostly ignored spatial considerations. This paper presents an integer programming approach to determine a reserve network with maximum accessibility while providing full protection to targeted species. We present an empirical application to endangered/threatened birds in Illinois.
