abstract: Flexible framework for ecological restoration planning. It aims to identify
  priority areas for restoration efforts using optimization algorithms (based on Justeau-Allaire
  et al. 2021 <https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2664.13803>). Priority areas can be identified
  by maximizing landscape indices, such as the effective mesh size (Jaeger 2000 <https://doi.org/10.1023/A:1008129329289>),
  or the integral index of connectivity (Pascual-Hortal & Saura 2006 <https://doi.org/10.1007/s10980-006-0013-z>).
  Additionally, constraints can be used to ensure that priority areas exhibit particular
  characteristics (e.g., ensure that particular places are not selected for restoration,
  ensure that priority areas form a single contiguous network). Furthermore, multiple
  near-optimal solutions can be generated to explore multiple options in restoration
  planning. The package leverages the 'Choco-solver' software to perform optimization
  using constraint programming (CP) techniques (<https://choco-solver.org/>).
