The Conservation Planning Institute was founded in 2002 to identify and
implement priority areas for biodiversity conservation. We are a U.S. 501(c)3 tax
exempt organization.
Our Board members have had an influence on the science of conservation
planning and conservation policy at local, national, and international levels.
This influence has led to the conservation of millions of hectares of land across
many regions of the earth.
CPI Board Members and staff have conservation planning experience in many
regions including:
the Lombardy Region of Italy (Massa);
New South Wales, Australia, the Cape Floristic Region of South Africa, forests of
the Upper Yangtze River basin of China, several ecoregions in Turkey, and the
Amazon floodplain in Brazil (Pressey);
the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (Noss, Wuerthner, and Vance-Borland);
the Oregon Coastal Province (Noss and Willer);
the Klamath-Siskiyou Mountains Province of Oregon and California, the Central
and
North Coast of British Columbia, and the Great Sand Hills of Saskatchewan,
Canada (Noss and Vance-Borland);
the Oak Ridges Moraine in Ontario, Canada, a dozen California Natural
Community Conservation Plans, and the state of Florida (Noss).
As of 2007, our Board of Directors has a cumulative total of 137 years of
professional experience, published 229 refereed scientific papers or book
chapters, written or edited 49 books, and received several major awards,
including:
-Edward T LaRoe III Memorial Award of the Society for Conservation Biology
(Noss and Pressey);
-Pew Scholars Fellowship in Conservation and the Environment (Noss);
-Royal Botanic Gardens Eureka Prize for Biodiversity Research (Pressey);
-Elected Fellow, American Association for the Advancement of Science (Noss);
-New South Wales Premier’s Environmental Award (Pressey);
-Thomas Jefferson Foundation Visiting Professorship, University of Virginia
(Pressey); and
-Identification by ISI HIGHLYCITED.COM as among the 500 most highly cited
authors in all fields (Noss and Pressey).
