		Conservation Area Planning (CAP) is The Nature Conservancy's methodology for setting priorities, developing strategies, and measuring success of conservation projects at parks, reserves, and other conservation areas.
		The Conservation Area Planning process (also called the "5-S" methodology, or Site Conservation Planning [SCP]) can be adapted to meet the needs of local planning teams while maintaining the integrity of its guiding principles—building conservation strategies on priority conservation targets and critical threats to those targets.
		Determining how our conservation targets are threatened, such as by habitat reduction or fragmentation, changes in natural flow patterns of waterways, or changes in the number of species in a forest, grassland or coral reef.
