Subject: [Ana] Adaptive Management Training Survey
Message-ID: <002001c8b6a8$b9143790$2b3ca6b0$@org>

As members of a Society for Conservation Biology listserv, we are requesting
your participation in a survey targeting conservation practitioners.  Please
take a minute to read the following and complete the online survey.

 

 

To our colleagues in the conservation community,

 

Foundations of Success (FOS) is a non-profit organization whose goal is to
improve the practice of conservation through training in project cycle
management. Project cycle management (also known as adaptive management)
provides a method for making more informed decisions about strategies,
testing the effectiveness of strategies used, and adapting strategies with
lessons learned.   

 

FOS trainings are based on the Conservation Measures Partnership (CMP) Open
Standards for the Practice of <http://www.conservationmeasures.org/>
Conservation. CMP, a coalition of well-known conservation NGOs, developed
these increasingly-accepted Open Standards as guidelines for the
conservation community on how to carry out the steps in the project
management cycle.  

 

Over the past few years, as the CMP Open Standards have been more widely
adopted, FOS has witnessed steadily increasing demand for training in
project cycle management. In response, FOS is exploring the expansion of its
training offerings.  

 

FOS and David Gardiner & Associates have designed a short survey to help
assess organizational needs within the conservation community - so as to
help FOS provide trainings that organizations like yours would find most
helpful in improving conservation results.  The survey is available to you
and your colleagues in English.

 

We would greatly appreciate your input on this survey by May 31, 2008.  The
survey will take approximately 10 - 15 minutes, and your responses will
remain anonymous.  Please click on the link below:

Thank you in advance for your participation and your contribution to
improving the practice of conservation. 

 

Sincerely,

 

Foundations of Success and David Gardiner & Associates
