7 About the Authors Rebecca L. Kihslinger is a Science and Policy Analyst at the Environmental Law Institute (ELI). She is the lead editor of ELI s 2007 publication, Lasting Landscapes: Reflections on the Role of Conservation Science in Land Use Planning and the lead author of a chapter on biodiversity corridors in Sustainable Urbanism: Urban Design With Nature (John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2008). Kihslinger has also been a contributing author of ELI research reports related to wetland buffers and habitat banking and has developed a wetlands mitigation training course for land trusts. In 2006, she earned a Ph.D. in animal behavior from the University of California at Davis, where she studied the effects of hatchery rearing practices on salmon development. James M. McElfish Jr., directs the Sustainable Use of Land Program at ELI. He is the author of ELI s 2004 book, Nature- Friendly Ordinances, several books about mining regulation, book chapters on state and local environmental laws, and approximately 60 ELI research reports and scholarly articles, mostly relating to water, wetlands, land use, and habitat. McElfish served on the American Planning Association s Directorate for its Growing Smarter Legislative Guidebook. He is a graduate of Yale Law School (1979) and Dickinson College (1976). Contributors Dan Perlman and Bruce Stein are Ph.D. scientists and leaders in biodiversity conservation and education. Dr. Perlman is Associate Professor of Biology and Chair of Environmental Studies at Brandeis University. He is coauthor of three textbooks on conservation biology and ecology. Dr. Stein, formerly Vice President and Chief Scientist for NatureServe, is the National Wildlife Foundation s Associate Director of Wildlife Conservation and Global Warming. He was lead editor of Previous Heritage: The Status of Biodiversity in the United States (Oxford University Press, 2000). vii

9 Preface Ecologists know they have a problem. Every landowner or regulator of land makes decisions concerning areas whose boundaries bear little, if any, relationship to ecologically defined functions. This has become known as the problem of scale. Solutions such as ecoregional planning or conservation planning are frequently proposed. But what can a landowner do when such plans are not yet in existence? Or where the information available in a plan does not match the spatial and time scale of the decisionmaker, who is almost always concerned with a different set of issues with their own elements of scale? Can landowner decisions accommodate uncertainty and changing answers about the science? The research for this book began as a National Council for Science and the Environment-administered study seeking to determine how state and local land regulation and management programs focused on other primary objectives could generate ancillary benefits for wildlife. We soon realized that in addressing this question, we were seeing practical answers to the problem of scale. And we were seeing similar answers for land use decisions at different scales. These answers are rooted in institutional choices. Rather than restating biological conservation principles in a nested hierarchy of plans, the answers involve the construction of systems that can allow entry of, and use of, new information. Such systems can make excellent use of large-scale conservation plans, where these exist, but do not depend upon the prior existence of such plans. Land use decisions are not one-time decisions, but involve multiple institutions whose participation in land management continues over time and area. The case studies that follow, preceded by essays by Dan Perlman and Bruce Stein, show how systems solutions offer practical approaches to a problem that bedevils ecologists while too often escaping the notice of land use decisionmakers. ix
