Question

evaluating conservation plans
conservation evaluation tool
who is making these decisions?
goals + actions
outcomes
impact on ecosystem + impact on interest holders
part a: understanding the conservation plan
directions: answer the following questions using the conservation plan storyboards to gather evidence.

1. what is the problem the conservation plan is trying to solve?
2. who is making the conservation decisions? what are their motivations?
3. what are the goals of the conservation plan?
4. what are the actions the conservation plan will take?

part b: what data is needed?
directions: using your progress tracker, answer the questions about the types of data your group would find useful to evaluate the conservation plan.

1. what types of data did we use in lesson 9 to evaluate the conservation plan to protect the wildebeest migration by creating the serengeti national park?

Explanation:

1. To answer these questions, one would need to refer to the Conservation Plan Storyboards and Progress Tracker as directed. For Part A questions, details about the problem, decision - makers, goals, and actions would be found in the storyboards. For Part B, the data types used in a previous lesson to evaluate a specific conservation plan would be retrieved from relevant materials.
2. Since no specific data or context beyond the general instructions is given, we can only provide a general approach. For example, the problem the conservation plan is trying to solve could be habitat loss, species endangerment etc. Decision - makers could be government agencies, non - profit organizations with motivations like environmental protection, economic benefits from ecotourism etc. Goals could be to increase species population, preserve ecosystems. Actions could include habitat restoration, anti - poaching measures. And data types for evaluation could be population counts, habitat area measurements etc.

Answer:

1. Answers would depend on the Conservation Plan Storyboards. Could be habitat degradation, species decline etc.
2. Answers would depend on the Conservation Plan Storyboards. Could be government bodies, NGOs; motivations could be environmental stewardship, economic gain from conservation.
3. Answers would depend on the Conservation Plan Storyboards. Could be to restore ecosystem balance, protect endangered species.
4. Answers would depend on the Conservation Plan Storyboards. Could be setting up protected areas, enforcing wildlife laws.

Part B - 1. Answers would depend on Lesson 9 materials. Could be wildlife population data, land use data.
