The DNR is able to purchase lands and engage in conservation easements, but there is considerable uncertainty (for the Conservation reserve design is the problem of selecting reasons enumerated above) about which lands to target, and parcels of land such that the assembled set maximizes when. Furthermore, for any parcel that is protected through some criterion pertaining to the conservation of species or purchase or easement, DNR encumbers a responsibility to natural communities (Williams, ReVelle, and Levin 2005).
