C-Plan
The Conservation Planning System.
Overview
C-Plan is an interactive, software-based decision support tool designed to work with GIS software (specifically ESRI ArcView 3.x). It helps users map options for achieving explicit conservation targets based on the principle of irreplaceability—a measure of the likelihood of needing a particular site to meet conservation goals.
