  abstract = {{T}his paper describes an operational protocol for integrating conservation and restoration with land-use planning in islands. {C}onservation challenges are intensified in insular systems due to higher ecosystem vulnerability, limited spatial options, low data availability, rapid land-use change and, globally, short-term vision planning. {O}ur operational planning protocol integrates ecological and socio-economic factors to identify the best spatial options for conserving and restoring biodiversity, inside and outside extant reserves, while minimising future land-use conflicts. {C}onservation and restoration targets are formulated for species, habitats and ecological processes that support biodiversity. {A}n optimal network of priority sites is selected to achieve those targets across the landscape. {T}he prioritisation process integrates a {C}onservation {C}osts {I}ndex to optimise conservation and restoration investments. {W}e discuss the outcomes of the planning protocol in terms of site prioritisation, stakeholders' participation and general implications for spatial planning in insular systems. {A}s with many islands, the study area of {R}eunion {I}sland has experienced rapid urban and agricultural expansion, which threatens its unique biodiversity. {F}orty three per cent of the island is currently protected in a {N}ational {P}ark but only half of this reserve network contributes to the achievement of targets. {A}n additional 21% of land should be conserved mainly to ensure the persistence of ecological connections between the marine, terrestrial and freshwater realms. {F}inally we emphasize that our method doesn't substitute the land-use planning debate but is aimed to better prepare the conservation sector for negotiating future land-use allocation with other socio-economic sectors in islands.},
