The Gateway is for the conservation practitioner, scientist and decision-maker. Here we share the best and most up-to-date information we use to inform our work at The Nature Conservancy.

This document developed by PlaceMatters describes use of a toolkit to support integrated planning that addresses hazard mitigation and ecosystem-based planning within a land use planning context. The toolkit crosses disciplines and cross jurisdictional boundaries and highlights the benefits of ecosystem conservation on hazard exposure and vice versa. This document provides an explanation of the integration of three decision-support tools and methods, and the implementation of an integrated analysis of hazards, ecosystem conservation goals, and land use measures.
