摘要: Inadequate Monitoring and Evaluation (ME a focus on specific biotic abiotic indicators at the expense of understanding system functions processes, especially social components; limited attention to how context affects systems, though this is sometimes considered via secondary data. The resulting data are publicly-accessible, but it rarely clear if these influence decisions any level, whether be in original policy itself or level measures such as site management plans. Adjustments policy-driven M&E could better enable learning for adaptive management, by reconsidering what supports balanced socio-ecological systems decision-making. Useful strategies include making more use data, transparency data-sharing Several countries areas already offer useful examples. Such changes essential given policy, urgency enabling safeguard systems.
