Protecting Nature by Making Conservation Management Plans
A management plan for being in control of a corner shop or a national nature reserve follows a logic based on answering the following five questions.
WHERE ARE WE?
The answer defines the organisation and what it does e.g. "We have arrived at an ecosystem that needs protection".
WHY ARE WE THERE?
The answer defines the relationship between organisation and system e.g. "We have come to the nature reserve because it has a rare species in decline".
WHERE COULD WE BE?
The answer defines what the situation could be if the organisation was in charge of the nature reserve e.g. "We could have arrested the decline of a rare species".
HOW COULD WE GET THERE?
The answer defines the process of making a management plan e.g. " By making and operating a plan the species could be brought into a favourable condition".
ARE WE GETTING THERE?
The answer defines the role of monitoring e.g. "We are measuring (monitoring) the population of the rare species year on year".
If we are not getting there, the plan is amended. Monitoring thereby completes a planning cycle.
Resources for the plan are scheduled as projects by answering the following questions.
What has to be done (the factors that have to be controlled)?
Who is going to do it (the manpower)?
When are they going to do it (the flow diagram)?
What is needed to do it (the equipment, and finance)?
How will we do it (the methodoloogy)?
How will we record what has been done (the inputs)?
How will we measure how close we are to our objective (the outcomes)?
