To increase both the amount of conservation resources available and the efficiency with which
those resources are spent, we make the case that projects of conservation and natural resources management
should work on improving their adaptive processes. This includes how projects plan their strategies, track the
effects of those strategies, and evaluate the cost-effectiveness of actions. By using an adaptive management
process denominated the Open Standards for the Practice of Conservation as a foundation, we suggest
some key components and tools for strategic planning and project monitoring, such as diagramming tools
(conceptual models and results chain). We also suggest the use of preliminary measures prior to planning
and a design employing comparison areas (i.e., control sites) for assessments of strategy effectiveness. To
demonstrate the utility of adaptive management, we briefly summarize two previously published examples
of actual projects that have completed at least one adaptive management cycle (planning, monitoring,
evaluation, and adaptation processes).
