Identification and
Assessment of Conservation Compatible Practices on Private Forestlands
Integrating biodiversity conservation with
forest management on privately owned forestlands has been a concern for
landowners, forest practitioners, and policymakers in advancing
sustainable forestry. Major challenges in pursuing this goal appears to
be lack of a clear understanding on what forest practices are compatible
with conservation goals, and how landowners would respond to the
adoption of such practices in the face of external costs and benefits.
This study investigates the management of non-industrial private forests
(NIPF) under Florida’s comprehensive wildlife conservation plan
(Strategic Habitat Conservation Areas-SHCA) to address these
challenges.
