REGIONAL CONSERVATION OUTCOMES

While the establishment of global scale conservation priorities is essential to channel globally flexible conservation resources from foundations, the private sector, and bilateral and multilateral donors, it gives little insight into where conservation should be targeted on the ground. Conservation Synthesis therefore provides support to Conservation International's Centers for Biodiversity Conservation, field programs, and partners in the process of defining targets and setting priorities for action. To address these targets and priorities, it is essential that they are developed as close to the ground as possible—at a minimum, at a regional or national level. Thus, Conservation Synthesis functions as a bridge between conservation practitioners on the ground and the biodiversity science underway in CABS and elsewhere in the academic community. This allows a balance between local ownership and data, on the one hand, and global standards and criteria, on the other.
