Conservation planning is integral to strategic and effective operations of public and private sector conservation organizations. Largely grounded in the biological sciences, the field of conservation planning has historically made limited use of social data . We offer a simple approach for integrating data on social well-being into conservation planning that captures and contextualizes patterns and trends in human needs and capacities across a conservation planning unit. These social well-being data complement biophysical and threat-oriented social data within a conservation planning process. Building upon existing conservation planning methodologies and insights from multiple disciplines, this systematic approach can easily merge with current planning practices. Incorporating social well-being data into conservation plans can refine the process for selecting conservation targets, highlight opportunities for strategic conservation action, and inform adaptive management.
