Getting a Conservation Standards/adaptive management course up and running at a university or other academic institution can be a daunting task. Experienced CCNet coaches have developed materials and can guide you to design the right type of course for your circumstances. Please get in touch with us if you have any questions about how to set up a course at your institution.

Our Collaborators

Every organization, agency, project, and individual has its own preferred set of terms. There is no right answer – the most important thing is that the members of your project team and the people with whom you work have a clear and common understanding of whatever terms you choose to use.
