A conservation plan
is based on answering the following questions.
Why are we
here?
A decision has to been made about what is of value
to conserve and why. This evaluation identifies the features
to be managed.
What have we
got?
All features to be conserved are described and
mapped
What do we
want?
Each features is assigned an objective which
defines its condition in relation to its desired condition. A
measurable attribute of the feature is selected to record progress
towards the objective.
What must we
do?
All factors/issues that have to be managed
to bring the state of each feature to the desired condition are
addressed by projects which schedule the necessary inputs of
resources..
Therefore each feature:
-
is described;
-
it is assigned a measurable
objective;
-
factors are listed that have to be
managed to reach the objective;
-
management projects are scheduled to
control the factors;
-
monitoring projects are scheduled to
record progress towards objectives.
