Conservation planning step(s) when this would be used: This is used during the Plan Actions step to help predict the outcomes of potential actions.

Description of tool use: A spatially explicit mapping technique that defines a species' biological landscape and its intersection with the landscape of human activities. "Focal landscapes" that are sufficient to meet species requirements are defined and threats from human activity are evaluated with respect to biological requirements. It is designed for use as part of a broader Landscape Species Approach planning process.

Experience and expertise required to use the tool: Effective application requires specialist expertise and experience.

Data requirements: The tool is not suitable for use in data poor planning scenarios.

Strengths and weaknesses, when to use and interpret with caution: Not completed.

Case study: Not completed.
