Overview

About

Maintained by Pablo MerloFirst published 2026-03-301 releasesCRAN page ↗

Provides tools for multiscale systematic conservation planning using the H3 hierarchical hexagonal grid system (Uber Technologies (2024) https://h3geo.org) and the 'prioritizr' package (Hanson et al. (2025) doi:10.1111/cobi.14376). Supports the definition and solution of conservation problems across nested H3 resolutions with resolution-specific features, costs, and management attributes, including cross-scale connectivity penalties derived from parent-child relationships. Also includes utilities to evaluate solutions using multiscale-aware diagnostics and to post-process optimization outputs into alternative area-targeted conservation scenarios.
