The plan of the day: managing the dynamic transition from regional conservation designs to local conservation actions

摘要: In numerous and important situations across the globe, transition from designs to actions in conservation planning requires multiple iterations. Regional need be updated progressively as some applied depart spatially areas notionally selected for conservation, or intended prove infeasible undesirable. For researchers organizations fully capitalize on enormous investment around world, regional must seen, not static products, but starting points ongoing adaptation. We explain 18 reasons why adapted, either anticipation of are applied. Our four groups: early fine-tuning; mistakes surprises; new data; major overhaul. show that relative importance these varies between three situations: 1. rapid application, when simultaneously all parts designs; 2. protracted when, more typically, incrementally over extended periods; 3. revision designs, mandated spontaneous. then explore conceptual, operational, institutional, policy implications being, needing be, dynamic. The weaknesses methods most starkly revealed by adapt during application private community-managed lands marine waters.
