COURSE DESCRIPTION Join us for this highly interactive course that explores the philosophy, core principles, and systematic steps of the Open Standards for the Practice of Conservation (Conservation Standards <https://conservationstandards.org/about/>). This live course is built on experiential learning through professionally facilitated, hands-on application in teams. We will work together on real-world case studies provided by fellow students to identify key and desired conservation and human well-being outcomes, develop ecological models, construct situation diagrams, incorporate empirical data, integrate monitoring and adaptive management, and develop effective action plans for our changing world. These skills will not only improve your impact as a conservation practitioner and planner, but also provide invaluable tools for developing grant applications, evaluating project plans, communicating with funders, and integrating stakeholders.
