1 The Open Standards for the Practice of Conservation Planning, managing, monitoring, and learning from projects at all scales Jennie Duberstein Coordinator, Sonoran Joint Venture
2 This Presentation What is adaptive management? Brief summary of the Open Standards for the Practice of Conservation Photo: Dave Krueper
3 What is Adaptive Management? Are our actions working? Are we doing the right things? Are we doing them well? Where do we need to make changes?
4 What is Adaptive Management? The integration of project or program planning, management, and monitoring to provide a framework for: Testing assumptions Learning Adapting
5 Adaptive Management Combines Action and Research Pure Practitioner Adaptive Manager Pure Researcher Results Knowledge
6 The Basic Project Management Cycle Plan Adapt Do Monitor & Evaluate
7 Many Versions of Adaptive Management in Practice 1. Definir Equipo inicial Alcance y visión Objetos de conservación Contexto y actores claves 5. Compartir Lecciones Productos formales Retroalimentación y evaluación Cultura de aprendizaje WWF Ciclo de Proyectos/ Programas de Conservación 2. Diseñar Plan de acción: objetivos, metas, y actividades Plan de monitoreo Plan operativo 4. Analizar/Adaptar Datos recolectados Resultados y supuestos Funciones operativas Planes de trabajo y presupuestos 3. Implementar Planes de trabajo y presupuestos Recaudación de fondos Capacitación Alianzas
8 The Conservation Measures Partnership (CMP)
9 Why Use the Open Standards? A project following the Open Standards will have a better likelihood of achieving conservation results and will be able to demonstrate those results.
10 We Need Standard Terms to Describe Conservation Project Teams employ Actions affect Indirect Threats Opportunities drive Direct Threats affect Biodiversity Targets Cows? Cattle? Livestock? Grazing? Ranching?
11 Open Standards for the Practice of Conservation Developed by leading orgs & agencies Draws on many fields Open source & common language Used around the world State Wildlife Agencies National Park Systems Donor Funding Programs Academic Training
12 What is Our Approach to Adaptive Management?
13 Brief Summary of the Open Standards 1. Summarize what you want to conserve 2. Understand current & desired condition 3. Identify and rank threats 4. Develop a general model of socioeconomic-ecological system 5. Identify strategies based on the general model 6. Define theories of change to show how strategies will work 7. Implement the strategies, checking as you go 8. Adjust

36 The Open Standards Help You Be Very Clear and Specific Lay out and test assumptions Share biological information Partners access data Partners use data to inform mgmt Mgmt strategies improved Reduced disturbance of nesting birds Healthy populations of wetland birds?
37 The Open Standards Help You Be Very Clear and Specific Define indicators and methods Objective: By 2013 and annually thereafter, at least 75% of partners are accessing biological information & data disseminated by JV. Indicator: % of partners accessing biological information & data disseminated by JV. Objective: By 2017, disturbance of Snowy Plover nests has decreased by at least 50%, as compared to 2012 disturbance rates. Indicator: # of incidences of disturbance plover nests. Share biological information Partners access data Partners use data to inform mgmt Mgmt strategies improved Reduced disturbance of nesting birds Healthy populations of wetland birds? Goal: By 2030, at least 50 pairs of nesting Snowy Plovers are successfully reproducing across identified sites, leaving at least 2 eggs per clutch every year. Indicator: # of pairs nesting Snowy Plovers Avg. # eggs per clutch
