Résumé

The Everglades Headwaters National Wildlife Refuge (EHNWR) and Conservation Area, when completed, will serve to protect the upland habitats and wetlands of the Everglades watersheds. Completing the "reserve design” for this protected area involves many ecological, social, and political factors to successfully identify parcels of land for protection. Land acquisition choices are difficult because it typically takes many years to gather the funds to purchase all necessary parcels of land, and initial land acquisition planning could be complicated by future conditions such as projected climate and urbanization changes across the landscape. To meet the reserve design needs of the EHNWR, we used the conservation planning software Marxan to allocate the targets among two “zones” representing different methods of protection: fee-simple purchase and conservation easement agreements. Projections from urban growth models revealed how climate change could affect the study area by examining how urbanization associated with people moving inland from the coast might affect the availability of parcels for inclusion in the reserve.
