Conservation Planning & Landscape Ecology

Pandion understands that conservation planning must employ landscape ecology principles while balancing the needs of the environment and society.

Landscape ecology principles: the interactions among patches within the landscape mosaic; how these patterns and interactions change; and the influence the changes have on the area’s ecological processes.

Landscape ecology focuses on three (3) characteristics of the landscape: structure, function, and change. Landscape ecology recognizes that spatial patterns matter, and the arrangement of land uses and habitat is critical to conservation.

The Pandion Team developed the Landscape Ecology GIS Toolbox (LEGIST), which uses these landscape ecology principles as the basis for examining Florida’s landscape patterns, interactions among patches within a mosaic, how these patterns and interactions change, and the influence they have on the area’s ecological processes.
