Smith.Sarah_the 'spatial solution' to conserving biodiversity in landscapes and regions

This article made me think about the highway cutting through poverty point, and how it has divided the site into two. Not only to roads break up a site, but rid an area of vegetation and wildlife. This is not conserving biodiversity. The highway running in the middle of Poverty Point is causing fragmentation and a disconnect.

We must answer the question as to how to conserve biodiversity? Through land management, and viewing the needs to different stake holders, we can get an idea as to how to conserve land while feeding to the needs of the surrounding people.
