Given an allotment of land divided into parcels, government decision-makers,
private developers, and conservation biologists can collaborate to select which
parcels to protect, in order to accomplish sustainable ecological goals with
various constraints. In this paper, we propose a mixed-integer optimization
model that considers the presence of multiple species on these parcels, subject
to predator-prey relationships and crowding effects.
