INCREASING THE EFFICIENCY OF FRESHWATER CONSERVATION PLANNING

Systematic conservation planning is vital for allocating protected areas given the spatial distribution of conservation features, such as species. However, the challenge remains that the range-wide occurrence of a given species is often not known. Here, species distribution models (SDMs) are often used to predict species' habitat suitability across a study area. Using 85 fish species within the transboundary Danube catchment as target species, we first show that accounting for spatial autocorrelation in species data and SDMs can have drastic impacts on the delineation of protected areas, yielding a better model fit and more efficient conservation plans. Such results can then be further used for ecosystem-based management (EBM) that more efficiently and adaptively balances ecological and societal needs. We further illustrate a model-coupling that comprises the mapped fish distributions and ecosystem services in a multi-zone systematic conservation planning approach, emphasizing social equity given the gross domestic product (GDP) of a country to balance the share of specific management zones among countries. We show how such approaches can be useful to derive best-possible options for the spatial arrangement of protected areas and for EBM.
