A conservation plan is an essential tool for landscape architects to preserve and protect natural and cultural resources while designing ecologically sustainable landscapes. It helps in identifying areas of ecological significance and mitigating the impact of human activities on landscapes, including soil erosion, water pollution, invasion of exotic species, and habitat damage. A conservation plan evaluates the current condition of a site, establishes site-specific goals, and recommends actions to achieve these goals. It also provides guidelines for the management and maintenance of the landscape, ensuring its long-term health and sustainability. Overall, a conservation plan enhances the environmental, social, and economic values of the landscape, promoting its integration with surrounding communities and ecosystems.
