		Robust Systematic Conservation Prioritization // Systematic
		conservation prioritization with robust optimization
		techniques. This is important because conservation
		prioritizations typically only consider the most likely outcome
		associated with a conservation action (e.g., establishing a
		protected area will safeguard a threatened species population)
		and fail to consider other outcomes and their consequences for
		meeting conservation objectives. By extending the 'prioritizr'
		package, this package can be used to generate conservation
		prioritizations that account of uncertainty in the climate
		change scenario projections, species distribution models,
		ecosystem service models, and measurement errors. In
		particular, prioritizations can be generated to be fully robust
		to uncertainty by minimizing (or maximizing) objectives under
		the worst possible outcome. Since reducing the uncertainty
		associated with achieving conservation objectives may sacrifice
		other objectives (e.g., minimizing protected area
		implementation costs), prioritizations can also be generated to
		be partially robust based on a specified confidence level
		parameter. Partially robust prioritizations can be generated
		based on the chance constrained programming problem (Charnes
		Cooper 1959, doi:10.1287/mnsc.6.1.73) and the conditional
		value-at-risk problem (Rockafellar  Uryasev 2000,
		doi:10.21314/JOR.2000.038).
