Abstract
Since design issues are complex and land use interests often conflict, the use of optimization tools for identifying nature reserve designs can be beneficial to land managers. These tools can identify the best reserve design(s) for a set of objectives or compromises between objectives. By comparing a reserve proposal with the optimal design, the proposal’s degree of optimality can then be quantified, and its quality can be better assessed. Such comparisons allow managers to make more defensible decisions as land use pressures intensify.
