Management effectiveness approaches used by TNC in Latin America PAs
• Measures of Success using 5S method– Planning and measures approach includes
• Biodiversity health of conservation targets• Threat status to conservation targets
– Also includes smaller set of capacity measures
• Parks in Peril Consolidation Scorecard

Benefits of Enhanced 5-S
• Strengthens coverage of all WCPA evaluation framework elements (context, planning, inputs, processes, outputs, outcomes)
• Promotes adaptive management• Completely revised Excel tool

Biodiversity and environmental services
> 760 species of birds> 150 species of mammals> 110 species of amphibians16 types of habitats: from highland grasslands to Amazon foothills forests> 2 million people depend on its resources (water)

Project Planning in the CBR
• Iterative process• Strong link between different steps
lead to MOS (adaptive management)
• Reduce subjectivity• Science-based/use best information available• Participatory
![Page 11: Dan Salzer, U.S.A. Silvia Benitez P., Ecuador](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56813731550346895d9ebd10/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Define Project Goal
“The CBR will be a model for biodiversity conservation by applying participatory strategies that contribute to its sustainable development.”

Establish clear and measurable conservation objectives
Maintain current habitat connectivity of Andean Bear within the Condor Bioreserve
Reduce by 80% the mortality of Andean Bear due to conflicts with cattle raising
Strategies:objectives and actions
![Page 21: Dan Salzer, U.S.A. Silvia Benitez P., Ecuador](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56813731550346895d9ebd10/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
How to achieve conservation objectives?
Establish 4 conservation corridors within protected areas in the CBR
Define priority strategic actions
Work with farmers living on areas of human-bear conflict to improve cattle management on their lands
Strategies:objectives and actions
