Resumen
Systematic Conservation Planning is a set of sequential steps to define a comprehensive protected area system in any region or scale. The goal is to ensure that critical biodiversity components, such as populations, species occurrences, ecosystems, or ecological processes, are adequately represented in protected areas, considering the existing ones plus the complementary areas that deserve formal protection. The number and potential spatial solutions for selecting additional areas can be high, so reserve selection algorithms are widely used to solve the problem. Implementing the conservation plan for a region is usually the primary constraint of an SCP because local stakeholders and authorities must agree to put in practice the chosen conservation plan.
