Re-scaling field-conservation programs to cover whole ecosystems through bioregional management programs can increase the opportunities to protect and restore biodiversity efficiently and foster its sustainable use. Unnecessary delays and conflicts can be reduced and more easily resolved if the main challenges facing bioregional planners and implementors are anticipated.
Increasing biodiversity’s chances through bioregional management means finding answers to three fundamental questions
