The Conservation Standards | Best in class within the sector

The Conservation Standards are a widely adopted set of principles and best practices that combine common concepts, approaches, and terminology for conservation project design, management, monitoring and evaluation.

They have been developed by some of the leading conservation organizations of the world, and are stewarded by the Conservation Measures Partnership. This includes organisations such as the World Wildlife Fund, Wildlife Conservation Society, The Nature Conservancy, Traffic, Durrell, US Fisheries and Wildlife Services and many more.

As a result, The Conservation Standards have become widely recognised as best practices within the industry, and valued by employers.

What do people think?

“Even as someone with project management training, I found this course an invaluable resource because it’s so tailored to conservation. The content is extremely relevant and useful. Being guided through the project life cycle and identifying the logic behind our WHY is essential to implementing and learning from well-thought-out projects. I cannot recommend it enough.” – Sara Rudolph.

“Especially for career switchers that come from management in other industries or sectors, this course give us a light in the sense that our skills and expertise have a way to fit in conservation, this course shows how our previous knowledge can be applied.” – Carin Talero.

“Fantastic course, very comprehensive, easy to follow.” – Alexandra Dorison.

“Definitely do the course, it will set you up with a journey of progression that can be adopted at any time through a projects lifetime, wither that is a development phase, delivery or analysis.” – Tracy Lambert, The Scottish Wildlife Trust.

“This course gives a great break down of the Conservation Standards! It’s clear and has real-life examples that show you just how to use the tool and also the effect the tool has on your team and organisation. Take the course!” – Isaline Tihon.

“Do it! It’s a super valuable tool to have when you want to go into conservation, especially as a project manager. Also if you don’t do any project management, I think it’s very useful to have a (at least basic) understanding of the Conservation Standards, since you’re still part of a team and can contribute to the project planning, implementing, monitoring, adapting and sharing”. – Cecile van der Wilden.
