  1. 1st Interregional Bongo Workshop, 13-15 May 2013 Species Planning David Mallon Co-Chair Antelope Specialist Group IUCN Species Conservation Planning Subcommittee

  2. Why? • Working together achieves more than working alone (synergy) • Global framework for all partners • Helps coordinate action by all • Avoids duplication • Addresses the highest threats • Helps fundraising

  3. Species Conservation Strategy (SCS) • Several planning processes • We are following the IUCN process (SCS) • Common elements to all processes • Based on sound science/information • Partnership between some or all of: 1) Government, 2) NGOs, 3) Local communities, 4) Researchers, 5) Conservationists (in situ and exsitu)

  4. "When we understand that slide, we'll have won the war” (General Stanley McChrystal)- US Military General STAnleyMcChrystal

  5. Where do we want to go? Steps in Conservation Planning How do we get there? Where are we?

  6. Status Assessment Vision/Goal (Strategy) Action Plan Basic features of conservation planning (at all levels): • Where are we now? • Where do we want to go? • How do we get there?

  7. From diagnosis to action: how do we change the situation? • Strategies are tools - implementation is key • “Action Plans alone don’t save species – only action does” • Is it a question of resources? • Do we have the capacity? • institutions, personnel, training? • Motivation? • Laws adequate, enforcement weak

  8. Vision & Goal • VISION: ideal situation in 25-50 years • GOAL(s): A concrete step towards achieving the Vision • Actions: what is needed to attain the Goal

  9. Regional examples • Arabian Leopard • Very few left in in the wild (<250) • In fragmented populations • Ex-situ populations in 5 centres • Coordinated breeding programme (partly) • Every individual is valuable

  10. Arabian LeopardWorkshop Results 1: Vision and Goal Vision: To have viable and sustainably managed populations of the Arabian leopard, its wild prey and natural habitats in co-existence with local communities across its range in the Arabian Peninsula. Goal: To ensure the survival of all known wild populations of Arabian leopard and develop conservation programmes for the leopard, its prey and natural habitat in all range states.

  11. Extinct in the Wild 1970s Now 8 reintroduced populations in 5 countries Coordinated breeding programme, within the region and outside

  12. Arabian Oryx Regional Conservation Strategy and Action Plan Workshop 2007 Vision Free ranging and viable AO populations thrive in their historic range across the Arabian Peninsula Goal Successful reintroduction programs in north and south of the Arabian Peninsula to establish 2 metapopulations
