Excellent, thanks. It is a creative and innovative new trend adopted by
that project group. I'll quote the relevant Wikipedia entries:

Landscape-scale conservation
>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

*Landscape-scale conservation* is a concept that has arisen in response to
both the challenges of climate change
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change> and a perceived excessive
focus on site based conservation
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Site_based_conservation>. It aims to take a
holistic approach, looking not just at biodiversity
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodiversity> issues, but also issues such
as local economies and agriculture, eco-tourism
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eco-tourism>, geodiversity
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geodiversity> and the health and social
benefits of the environment.
Site-based conservation
>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Site based conservation
<https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Site_based_conservation&redirect=no>
)

*Site-based conservation* is an approach to nature conservation
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nature_conservation> that relies on the
designation of important or representative examples of sites supporting key
habitats or species, such as Key Biodiversity Areas
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_Biodiversity_Areas> (KBAs) or Important
Bird Areas <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Important_Bird_Area> (IBAs).
Whilst a rational way of ensuring that the very best resources are
protected, it is open to a number of criticisms:

- It tends to focus resources and protection on only the best sites.
- With a changing climate, the best sites now may not be the best ones
to protect for the future.
- Wildlife is ignorant of lines drawn on maps by humans.

On balance, site-based conservation is an essential part of nature
conservation, along with initiatives such as environmental subsidies and
planning controls that protect biodiversity across the whole landscape (the
broad and shallow approach), and the more holistic ideas of landscape-scale
conservation <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landscape-scale_conservation>.
