Overall Prioritization Tool

Overall Prioritization Tool

The individual Conservation Prioritization Objective Tool outputs are useful to help the managing agency understand the value of each management unit for each objective, but realistically the agency often has the complex task of trying to integrate several objectives when making management decisions. To account for this, we created the Overall Prioritization Tool to integrate the results of all the individual Conservation Objective Prioritization Tool outputs. The Overall Prioritization Tool allows the user to overlay several Conservation Objective Prioritization Tool outputs and create a new modelled overall prioritization output. This overlay is again weighted by the user to allow greater influence by those conservation objectives that are of a higher priority to the management area being studied.
