SecSel, a new software tool for conservation prioritization that is applicable to ordinal-scale data for multiple biodiversity features.

SecSel, a protected-area prioritization tool, has been developed to help design areas that efficiently protect multiple features, including conservation of biodiversity and use of ecosystem services. The prioritization by SecSel is based on evaluation of the local units of each feature. The evaluati...
