Decision support tool for prioritizing sites for ecological
surveys based on their potential to improve plans for conserving
biodiversity (e.g. plans for establishing protected areas). Given a set of
sites that could potentially be acquired for conservation management,
it can be used to generate and evaluate plans for surveying additional
sites. Specifically, plans for ecological surveys can be
generated using various conventional approaches (e.g. maximizing expected
species richness, geographic coverage, diversity of sampled environmental
algorithms. After generating such survey plans, they can be evaluated using
conditions) and maximizing value of information. Please note that several
functions depend on the 'Gurobi' optimization software (available from
<https://www.gurobi.com>). Additionally, the 'JAGS' software (available from
<https://mcmc-jags.sourceforge.io/>) is required to fit hierarchical
generalized linear models. For further details, see Hanson et al. (2023) <doi:10.1111/1365-2664.14309>.
