Ecosystem services planning fosters engagement between government agencies and universities
Project Description
Our research team works on conservation planning, more specifically on the spatial prioritization of sites of interest via decision support tools using algorithms. We take a particular interest in the integration of the notions of access of the population to the various ecological services. As part of the From Knowledge to Practice project, we aim to strengthen ties between Quebec government actors working on themes presenting environmental issues (agriculture, urbanization, forestry, transportation, etc.) and university researchers working in conservation planning.
