<p><strong>Theory and Design of Nature Reserves</strong></p> <p> </p> <p><a></a></p> <p>The first task in designing a reserve must be to decide what that reserve is <em>for</em> - an example of my ``If you don't know where you're going you'll probably end up somewhere else'' principle. So what <em>are</em> the goals of a conservation reserve? Soulé and Simberloff [<a href="http://darwin.eeb.uconn.edu/eeb310/lecture-notes/reserves/node10.html#Soule-Simberloff86">11</a>] identified three reasons: </p> <blockquote> <p>1. Conservation of large, intact, functioning ecosystems, </p> <p>2. Conservation of areas with high biological diversity, and </p> <p>3. Conservation of species or groups of species of special interest. </p> </blockquote> <p>To these three reasons, I would add two more: </p> <blockquote> <p>4. Conservation of significant natural communities. </p> <p>5. Conservation of important ecosystem services.<a href="http://darwin.eeb.uconn.edu/eeb310/lecture-notes/reserves/footnode.html#foot17"><sup>1</sup></a></p> <p> </p> </blockquote> <p><em>..................................................</em></p> <p><strong><em>About this document</em></strong></p> <p><em>Copyright © 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, </em><a href="http://cbl.leeds.ac.uk/nikos/personal.html"><em>Nikos Drakos</em></a><em>, Computer Based Learning Unit, University of Leeds. <br>Copyright © 1997, 1998, 1999, </em><a href="http://www.maths.mq.edu.au/~ross/"><em>Ross Moore</em></a><em>, Mathematics Department, Macquarie University, Sydney. </em></p> <p><em>The translation was initiated by Kent Holsinger on 2005-11-04 <br></em></p> <p><em>These notes are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike License. </em></p> <p><em></em></p>
