DESCRIPTION

The majority of the work that goes into a protected area gap assessment involves the spatial delineation and critical evaluation of habitats/species, protected areas, and risks to focal habitats. The Protected Area Tools are ready to be used only after users have obtained the highest quality data available, conducted an ecological inventory and assessment of these data layers through expert review, and carefully considered all model scenario settings. Three modules presented in this tutorial will guide users through the process of 1) Developing a customized Environmental Risk Surface (ERS) 2) Calculating a landscape's Relative Biodiversity Index (RBI) 3) Creating input files and viewing model results for Marxan
