Science and adaptive management
Adaptive management provides a structured approach to inform park management decisions in times of uncertainty.
Natural systems are complex and there will always be information gaps and uncertainty.
Adaptive management is based on the following principles:
- Objectives for parks must be clearly defined
- Management responses must be measured against those objectives
- Further management responses are adjusted to incorporate evaluation and feedback.
Parks Victoria’s adaptive management framework has five clear stages:
- Set the context - define the important assets and threats
- Plan - set measurable goals and objectives to direct management strategies
- Implement management and monitoring programs
- Evaluate - analyse and apply the information collected
- Communicate - share the information and learn from the experiences.
