47. Designing Systematic Conservation Assessments that Promote Effective Implementation: Best Practice from South Africa

Abstract

To purchase or authenticate to the full-text of this article, please visit this link: http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1523-1739.2006.00452.x Keywords: adaptive improvement; conservation-area selection; conservation planning; operational model; social learning institutions Abstract: Abstract: Systematic conservation assessment and conservation planning are two distinct fields of conservation science often confused as one and the same. Systematic conservation assessment is the technical, often computer-based, identification of priority areas for conservation. Conservation planning is composed of a systematic conservation assessment coupled with processes for development of an implementation strategy and stakeholder collaboration. The peer-reviewed conservation biology literature abounds with studies analyzing the performance of assessments (e.g., area-selection techniques). This information alone, however, can never deliver effective conservation action; it informs conservation planning. Examples of how to translate systematic assessment outputs into knowledge and then use them for 'doing' conservation are rare. South Africa has received generous international and domestic funding for regional conservation planning since the mid-1990s. We reviewed eight South African conservation planning processes and identified key ingredients of best practice for undertaking systematic conservation assessments in a way that facilitates implementing conservation action. These key ingredients include the design of conservation planning processes, skills for conservation assessment teams, collaboration with stakeholders, and interpretation and mainstreaming of products (e.g., maps) for stakeholders. Social learning institutions are critical to the successful operationalization of assessments within broader conservation planning processes and should include not only conservation planners but also diverse interest groups, including rural landowners, politicians, and government employees. Abstract (Spanish): Diseno de Evaluaciones Sistematicas de la Conservacion que Promueven la Implementacion Efectiva: la Mejor Practica en Africa del Sur Resumen: La evaluacion sistematica de la conservacion y la planificacion de la conservacion son dos campos distintos de la ciencia de la conservacion que a menudo son confundidos como uno y lo mismo. La evaluacion sistematica de la conservacion es la identificacion tecnica, a menudo computarizada, de areas de prioridad para la conservacion. La planificacion de la conservacion esta compuesta por una evaluacion sistematica de la conservacion aunada a procesos para el desarrollo de una estrategia de implementacion y colaboracion de grupos de interes. En la literatura de biologia de la conservacion revisada por pares abundan los estudios que analizan el rendimiento de las evaluaciones (e. g., tecnicas de seleccion de areas). Sin embargo, esta informacion por si sola no puede derivar en acciones de conservacion efectivas; informa a la planificacion de la conservacion. Son raros los ejemplos de como traducir los resultados de evaluaciones sistematicas en conocimiento y luego utilizarlo para 'hacer' conservacion. Africa del Sur ha recibido generoso financiamiento internacional y domestico para la planificacion de la conservacion regional desde mediados de la decada de 1990. Revisamos ocho procesos de planificacion sudafricana e identificamos los ingredientes clave de la mejor practica para emprender evaluaciones sistematicas de la conservacion de manera que facilite la implementacion de acciones de conservacion. Estos ingredientes clave incluyen el diseno de procesos de planificacion de la conservacion, habilidades para los equipos de evaluacion, colaboracion con grupos de interes e interpretacion e integracion de productos (e. g., mapas) para grupos de interes. Las instituciones de aprendizaje social son criticas para la operatividad exitosa de las evaluaciones en el contexto de procesos de planificacion mas amplios y deben incluir no solo planificadores de la conservacion sino a diversos grupos de interes, incluyendo a propietarios rurales, politicos y empleados gubernamentales.
