The MEA (2005) biodiversity synthesis emphasizes the important global contribution of natural biological elements to human well-being. In turn, wellbeing itself depends on satisfying some combined provision of human values, and it is these values that in principle drive decisions concerning the allocation of natural resources among competing demands (Gregory et al., 2012, Wallace, 2012). If we extrapolate current global pressures–ranging from climate change to accelerating resource use by an expanding human population–it is clear that competition for natural biological resources will continue to increase, leading to more intense conflicts and trade-offs amongst contending interests (McShane et al., 2011). In this environment, achieving conservation objectives requires a sound understanding of the attitudes and values of stakeholders and decision-makers (McShane et al., 2011, Madden and McQuinn, 2014, Redpath et al., 2013). That is, managing competing human values is central to decision-making concerning the conservation and use of natural resources. Thus, developing a classification of values consistent with identifying synergies and trade-offs in decisions, selecting key stakeholder representatives, and generating methods for eliciting and rating values are all vital considerations in biological conservation planning.Planning processes have advanced considerably over the past two decades and basic components–including objective setting, risk management, dealing with uncertainty and selection of operational actions–are outlined in a range of publications (eg, CMP, 2013, Gregory et al., 2012, Knight et al., 2006, Lockwood et al., 2006). While these authors and many others acknowledge the importance of human values, there is considerable scope for developing methods that more explicitly link human wellbeing and related values into conservation planning. This linkage is still in its infancy, as underlined by the Conservation Measures Partnership's comparatively recent recognition of human values as a component of planning in on-line documents (CMP, 2013). The point is further exemplified by Knight et al.(2010), experienced and well-credentialed workers in conservation planning, who recognized that the effectiveness of their strategy development was undermined by inadequate knowledge of some stakeholder values. We suspect this comment applies equally to all those (and certainly ourselves) who have engaged in operational planning, management, or policy development.
