La presente guía es un instrumento que permite hacer una rápida valoración del nivel de aplicación del Enfoque Ecosistémico (EE), por medio de un conjunto de preguntas que abordan aspectos fundamentales de la gestión de los ecosistemas para poder afirmar que el enfoque se está aplicando en un espacio geográfico determinado, en un proyecto o en algún esquema de intervención del territorio.

The present report describes the results of background research to help develop a monitoring and evaluation system for the Central Truong Son Action Plan for conservation in a priority conservation landscape covering eight provinces of Vietnam. This phase of the project had a number of specific objectives: 1) Identify existing monitoring and evaluation systems in the Central Truong Son; 2) Identify other projects/processes; 3) Agree a procedure for developing the monitoring and evaluation system; 4) Identify indicators and sources of data; 5) Identify potential local data collectors; 6) Agree responsibility for data collection as relevant; and 7) Agree a process for compiling data

An important element of all peatland restoration projects is a programme of monitoring to check results and progress. Several peat project workshops identified a demand for technical guidance on monitoring techniques. So Natural England commissioned this study to review the range of peatland restoration monitoring techniques available and identify those that were consistent, informative and easily applicable for peatland restoration projects at a range of scales and budgets.

English Nature’s Habitat Restoration Project ran from 1996 to 2000 to demonstrate the extent to which fragmentation could be reversed using the available mechanisms; to identify which policies and procedures were most effective in achieving habitat recovery and what new policies, funding or procedures were needed; and finally to disseminate the experience to influence partners to adopt those policies or procedures to achieve the reversal of habitat fragmentation.

The aim of this guidance is to provide information to enable peatland restoration projects to develop appropriate monitoring programmes. Restoration projects need monitoring programmes to show whether these objectives are being met and to help them to adapt practices to respond to environmental changes.
