Course content

Introduce the concepts, steps and structures of the Open Standards for the Practice of Conservation by using the Liffey Valley as a case study to demonstrate its application. This area features World Heritage values set in a productive, diversely owned landscape. Participants will work in small teams to work through the entire adaptive planning and management cycle, and learn how to integrate these threads into a powerful, ongoing planning and management framework.

Outcome

The knowledge gained is readily implemented and applicable for use in a diverse range of protected areas, including those managed by governments, non-government organisations, private landholders and Indigenous communities. This approach is also applicable to conservation projects and property planning and management at any scale. It is increasingly used by government and non-government agencies across diverse jurisdictions and geographies.
