The Conservation Measures Partnership (CMP) is a community of conservation-oriented NGOs, government agencies, funders, and private businesses that work collectively to guide conservation around the world. As stewards of the Conservation Standards, we seek better ways to design, manage, and measure the impacts of conservation action. 

The Conservation Standards are a free, common structure practitioners can use to promote evidence-based excellence in practice and learn from each other across organizational, geographic, cultural, temporal or spatial barriers.

About Conservation Measures Partnership (CMP)

Our global community of partners fosters and guides conservation efforts around the world.

We draw on the expertise of our collective of NGOs, government agencies, and private businesses. We follow the principles and practices set out in the Conservation Standards guidelines. We work together to better design, manage, and measure conservation action.

Collaboration works.

Our members contribute to the fount of expertise and learn from each other. The experience of each organization becomes collective experience. Tried-but-failed approaches are avoided, best practices are adopted, efforts are shared or streamlined.

Efficiency and Innovation.

Our collective knowledge shapes and reshapes our standards guidelines leading to efficiency in practice. Our focus on the monitoring and evaluation of outcomes leads to innovation. The Conservation Measures Partnership serves as a catalyst for these advances in the field of conservation.
