Learning and practice

We work to ensure that the conservation we carry out and the decisions we take within our projects are based on the best information available. This information can come from many sources: it could be evidence generated through our conservation work or that of others; it could be the knowledge and experience shared by our conservation practitioners; or it could be based on the knowledge of local communities with whom we work.

Most often, we need to combine information from all of these sources to form the complete picture required to guide our work, and we need to review our understanding regularly to ensure that we respond to the dynamic context in which we operate.
