optimal solution | none | prioritize all of Victoria |
optimal solution for remaining native woody vegetation | 0—not native woody vegetation 1—native woody vegetation |
prioritize remaining native woody vegetation in Victoria |
evaluate conservation reserves | 0—not native woody vegetation 1—native woody vegetation outside current conservation areas 2—native woody vegetation inside current conservation areas |
prioritize areas inside and outside conservation reserves to determine how much PD is already protected and how much remains outside the current extent of the reserve systems |
scenario 1: expand conservation reserves | 0—not native woody vegetation 1—native woody vegetation outside current conservation areas 2—native woody vegetation inside current conservation areas |
compare amount of PD protected in reserves with that protected if the area of conservation reserves was increased by 5 or 20% |
scenario 2: tourism development in national parks | 0—outside native woody vegetation 1—native woody vegetation outside national parks 2—native woody vegetation in national parks and open for development 3—native woody vegetation in national parks and protected from development |
document the distribution of PD within national parks available for tourism and map vulnerable areas |
