4. Identify Critical Threats <br /> This step helps you to identify the various factors that immediately affect your project's focal targets and <br /> then rank them so that you can concentrate your conservation actions where they are most needed. <br /> Addresses questions like: •'What threats are affecting our targets?': •'Which threats are more of a problem?" <br /> 5. Conduct Situation Analysis <br /> This step asks you to describe your current understanding of your project situation—both the biological <br /> issues and the human context in which your project occurs. This step is not meant to be an unbounded <br /> analysis,but instead probes more deeply into the conditions surrounding your critical threats and degraded <br /> targets to bring explicit attention/consideration to causal factors,key actors,and opportunities for <br /> successful action. Addresses questions like: •"What factors positively&negatively affect our targets?" •`Who are <br /> the key stakeholders linked to each of these factors?" <br /> 6. Develop Strategies: Objectives and Actions <br /> This step asks you to specifically and measurably describe what success looks like and to develop practical <br /> and strategic actions you and your partners will undertake to achieve it. In particular,you want to try to <br /> find the actions that will enable you to get the most impact for the resources you have. Addresses <br /> questions like: •'What do we need to accomplish?", •'What is the most effective way to achieve these results?" <br /> 7. Establish Measures <br /> This step involves deciding how your project team will measure your results. This step is needed to help <br /> your team see whether its strategies are working as planned and thus whether adjustments will be needed. <br /> It is also needed to keep an eye on those targets and threats that you are not acting on at the moment,but <br /> may need to consider in the future. Addresses questions like: ♦'What do we need to measure to see if we are <br /> making progress towards our objectives and whether our actions are making a difference?", ♦`Are there other targets or <br /> threats that we need to pay attention to?" <br /> 8. Develop Work Plans <br /> This step asks you to take your strategic actions and measures and develop specific plans for doing this <br /> work as your project goes forward. Addresses questions like: ♦'What do we specifically need to do?", •'Who <br /> will be responsible for each task?", •'What resources do we need?" <br /> 9. Implement <br /> Action and monitoring plans won't do any good sitting on the shelf—your challenge here is to trust the <br /> hard work you have done and implement your plans to the best of your ability. Implementation is the <br /> most important step in this entire process;however,given the diversity of project needs and situations,the <br /> only requirement is: • Putyour plans into action <br /> 10. Analyze, Learn, Adapt, &Share <br /> This step first asks you to systematically take the time to evaluate the actions you have implemented,to <br /> update and refine your knowledge of your targets,and to review the results available from your monitoring <br /> data. This reflection provides insight on how your actions are working,what may need to change,and <br /> what to emphasize next. This step then asks you to document what you have learned and to share it with <br /> other people so they can benefit from your successes and failures.Addresses questions like: ♦'What are our <br /> monitoring data telling us about our project?", •'What should we be doing differently?", • glow will we capture what we <br /> have learned?", • `T-low can we make sure other people benefit from what we have learned?" <br />
