This research explores how artificial intelligence and spatial design can help protect biodiversity and guide conservation planning. By analyzing data from more than 10,000 species in Illinois, the study identifies important habitats, ecological patterns, and areas in need of protection. It proposes a framework that translates complex ecological data into practical conservation strategies, helping planners and designers make more informed decisions about land use, habitat protection, and ecological restoration.
