Project Management for Wildlife Conservation

Project Management for Wildlife Conservation

This best practice can be used as a step-by-step guide to help manage conservation work of any scale, focus, or time frame. For example, it could be used to manage work to protect elephants in a national park, or to help save global biodiversity by strengthening international policy on greenhouse gas emissions. This best practice can also be used as a supporting resource for training and facilitation.

This best practice can either be used as a stand-alone approach, or in combination with the other guidance in the Wildlife Conservation Professional Series. The Project Management for Wildlife Conservation best practice provides the overall framework for carrying out a conservation project from start to finish. In this best practice, a conservation project is broken down into 5 phases: Plan, Fund, Prepare, Implement, and Close. Other best practices in this series provide guidance on how to carry out key activities during one or more project management phases.
