| In this paper we consider the problem of optimally finding a region for protection, which could be proposed as an ecological reserve. By adopting a Decision Theoretic approach we propose a suitable loss function which allows for the consideration of cer tain factors and/or restrictions arising in practice, and that have not been c onsidered in the methods actually in use. The proposed loss function can be us ed in the context of the well-known Single Large or Several Small ecological debate, related to the form and connexity of the region to be proposed as reserve. The elements that define the loss f unction possess a clear interpretation from the biologist's point of vi ew. Due to the nature of the space of actions, the searching process for the solution cannot be made exhaustively, and so we resort to numerical methods. A case study is presented, using 12 endangered species native from the peninsula of Yucatan, Mexico. | |
