Conservation International brought together the scientific knowledge of more than 60 experts globally to generate a first-of-its-kind text providing specific biodiversity baseline protocols that ensure best science at project sites. Application of these core methods makes the results of baseline assessments more rigorous, comparable and replicable across sites and over time compared with current approaches.
Core Standardized Methods for Rapid Biological Field Assessment
"Reliable, standardized and replicable methodologies for quickly assessing key ecosystem values in the field are essential for conservation planning and decision-making at the local to regional scale at which most threats occur. Rapid biological assessments
are a cost-effective solution to this problem, providing data in a timely manner to address a wide range of conservation needs, and in particular to establish a baseline that can be used to detect changes over time."
