MONITORING AND EVALUATION FOR WILDLIFE CONSERVATION

Learn how to plan and report on monitoring and evaluation activities for any type of conservation project

LEARN HOW TO

• Define project success in terms of results, objectives, and indicators
• Set indicators to track progress and assess project success
• Plan monitoring activities to track changes in the situation
• Plan evaluation activities to assess how impact was achieved and how much impact was due to the project

IMPORTANT!

We highly recommend completing our Project Planning for Wildlife Conservation course (or an equivalent training) prior to taking our Monitoring and Evaluation for Wildlife Conservation course. This is because our monitoring and evaluation approach requires a basic understanding of Theory of Change diagrams and conceptual models.

    EARN YOUR CERTIFICATE

    To earn your certificate, you will need to take and pass our exam. This will be a multiple choice exam. Earning your certificate in this way is important to demonstrate to yourself and others (e.g. employers) that you have attained a high standard in this key skill set.

    However, the exam is nothing to worry about. If you need more time or any kind of additional support for the exam then the instructor is there to help. Most people pass first time and there is a free retake for anyone that doesn't.

    Once you earn your certificate you will be added to our WildTeam global skills directory.​

    WHY ARE MONITORING AND EVALUATION SKILLS IMPORTANT?

      Monitoring and evaluation are essential for assessing if a conservation project is successful or not. Monitoring and evaluation are also important to carry out to report on conservation impact to stakeholders such as donors, communities, and project partners.
      Lastly, monitoring and evaluation is needed to understand what works and what does not work in a particular context, to inform and improve the planning of future projects. Monitoring and evaluation, therefore, is a key skill required for many conservation job applications and positions.
