A socio-economic-ecological simulation model of land acquisition to expand a national wildlife refuge

Land acquisition is a common practice for establishing and expanding protected areas such as wildlife refuges. However, the socioeconomic feasibility and ecological consequences of an acquisition project are rarely assessed before the project is executed. In this paper, a socio-economic-ecological model (SEELAND) was developed to simulate the socioeconomic feasibility and ecological consequence...
