Biological monitoring: The nature conservancy's perspective
The Nature Conservancy works to protect natural diversity through a balanced program of identification, land protection, and management. Biological monitoring is an important component of the Conservancy's management program. Because monitoring can be very resource consumptive, the decision to monitor is made conservatively. The Conservancy initiates a monitoring program for four reasons: 1. to fulfill legal obligations, 2. to determine responses to management practices, 3. to track threats, and 4. to measure overall protection goals. In all cases the focus of the monitoring is the element (rare species or community) and not the preserve or natural area.
