Session 4 November 2022: Open Session
Topic Overview
Creating win-win situations in conservation means identifying and mitigating risks and negative side-effects. New guidance in the Conservation Standards demonstrates how reviewing results chains (also known as Theories of Change or road maps) can help to do this and improve outcomes for people and nature. In this interactive session you’ll get to have a go at reviewing results chains by asking probing questions and identify risks and negative side effects using some crowd-sourced results chains, with support from experienced conservation coaches.
If you have a relatively complete results chain that you would like peer reviewed and analysed for risks and negative side effects please send an image of it to Pip at pip@communitysolutions.com.au and Saras at skumar@conservationmanagement.com.au.
