Appendix C: Conservation Impact Indicators

The BCN has two goals: 1) Support site-specific conservation and 2) Evaluate the effectiveness of an enterprise-orientated, community-based approach to conservation. BSP and BCN staff in conjunction with our USAID Project Officer have been in the process of developing indicators for BCN's conservation impact. The current set of draft indicators is show below. BCN staff are in the process of defining a second set of complimentary indicators regarding our second objective. Given BCN's dual goals, neither set of inicators will be used individually to judge BCN's performance. Both sets of indicators are used in the process of defining the annual workplan.
