How communities use and occupy land to meet our needs arguably has the most dramatic and long-term effect on ecosystems and the services they provide. Dr. Crist has worked with a variety of local and regional government planning agencies to integrate conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem services in their plans. A variety of frameworks can be used to achieve this, one being Green Infrastructure Planning. For example, Dr. Crist worked with the Conservation Trust of Puerto Rico to assess how the draft national land use plan would impact areas of biodiversity value and delivery of drinking water.
