Using conceptual models to set conservation priorities
2002 Series
Conceptual models help us to be explicit about project goals, conservation objectives, and threats to wildlife and their habitats. Conceptual models serve as the basis for strategic planning in a project or program. These models cause us to think critically about how various threats interact and influence one another- an important step in planning effective interventions. Ranking direct threats identified within a conceptual model is an essential step in establishing priorities for the actions we will take. A conceptual model is only as good as the information used to create it. Monitoring is one way to test the conceptual model and revise and improve it over time. This provides a basis for adaptive management.
