Open Standards, SWAPAbstract:
This manual provides users with an overview of the Conservation Measures Partnership’s (CMP) Open Standards for the Practice of Conservation (referred to as the Open Standards or the Standards throughout this manual) and detailed guidance for the first two steps in CMP’s project management cycle. These two steps cover the best practices for conceptualizing and planning a conservation project or program. The Conservation Measures Partnership developed the Open Standards for the Practice of Conservation in order to provide conservation practitioners with the steps and general guidance necessary for the successful implementation of conservation projects. The five steps that comprise the project management cycle are the following: 1) Conceptualizing the project vision and context; 2) Planning actions and planning monitoring; 3) Implementing actions and implementing monitoring; 4) Analyzing data, using the results, and adapting the project; and 5) Capturing and sharing learning. Foundations of Success (FOS) developed this manual for its online and distance learning training courses. As such, it introduces topics and then provides step-by-step guidance. Any practitioner or team can learn about tools and methods to implement the Standards simply by reading this manual. To develop full capacity for implementing the Standards, however, we strongly recommend that you use this manual as part of a course in which FOS or another qualified individual or institution can provide you detailed and substantive feedback on your work.
