However, efforts to conserve biodiversity are complicated by the fact that existing information is incomplete and available resources are limited. In this seminar, I will discuss strategies for overcoming these challenges to develop cost-effective conservation plans. I will show how conservation plans can be improved by applying advanced algorithms, strategically collecting data, and employing cost-effective surrogates when high quality datasets (e.g. genetic data) are too costly. I will also elaborate on the importance of explicitly considering objectives and constraints when allocating conservation resources. By using cost-effective plans to inform decision making, conservation efforts stand a far greater chance at enhancing the long-term persistence of biodiversity.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12770\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-content\/uploads\/jeff-hanson2-240x160.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"368\" height=\"245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-content\/uploads\/jeff-hanson2-240x160.png 240w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-content\/uploads\/jeff-hanson2-400x266.png 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-content\/uploads\/jeff-hanson2-160x107.png 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-content\/uploads\/jeff-hanson2-768x511.png 768w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-content\/uploads\/jeff-hanson2-360x240.png 360w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-content\/uploads\/jeff-hanson2-200x133.png 200w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-content\/uploads\/jeff-hanson2.png 805w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 368px) 100vw, 368px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>BioSketch:\u00a0<\/strong>Jeffrey Hanson is a postdoctoral scientist at Carleton University, Canada.
