What does strategically target mean?
Targeting means identifying a goal and directing action to achieve it. Using the example of a dart board, your target may be a bulls-eye and you take careful aim to achieve that mark. In the world of land conservation, targets are mapped land areas that provide certain benefits to the public. Strategic targeting means that only the most important lands are selected as the bulls-eyes. Program Open Space Stateside has selected ecologically valuable lands (Targeted Ecological Areas) as its strategic targets.
