WCS 5-Measure Dashboard: Monitoring Conservation Impacts

The WCS 5-Measure Dashboard tracks the state of conservation in 45 landscapes and seascapes covering 6 million square miles. It records indicator species, habitat quality, illegal resource use, resource governance, and local livelihoods. This dashboard is built on a clear theory of change, focusing on measuring governance, species occupancy, cover change, SMART law enforcement, and local livelihoods. It helps evaluate if positive trends are seen in conservation efforts and if these trends can be attributed to WCS actions. The dashboard aims to enhance resource management efficiency, reduce direct threats, and strengthen governance systems.

  1. 5 measures A dashboard to record and report conservation impacts

  2. WCS 5 Measure Dashboard State of conservation in 45 landscape and seascapes covering 6 million square miles Indicator species Habitat quality Illegal resource use Resource governance Local livelihoods Click a gauge for more information

  3. Built on a clear theory of change Measure 4 Governance index Measure 1 Species Patch Occupancy Measure 3 SMART law enforcement index Resource governance systems are strengthened Species Targets Resource management is more effective Direct threats are reduced or abated Habitat Targets Economic incentives for sustainable resource management are increased Strategic actions and investments Measure 2 Cover Change Measure 5 Local livelihood index

  4. Both impact & effectiveness • Impact measures • Do we see positive trends in the status of the things we care about? • Effectiveness measures • Can we attribute observed status trends to WCS actions and investments? • Can we better understand what works and what does not?

  5. Power of 5 measures Affordable 1 Flexible 2 Scalable 3 Repeatable 4 Good enough 5 Uses industry standard methods

  6. Species – patch occupancy Time 2 Time 0 Time 1

  7. Habitat - Cover Time 0 Time 1 Time 2

  8. Threats – SMART LEM

  9. Governance Evaluating authority, capacity and power to govern

  10. Local livelihoods • UN • “Poverty is a lack of • basic necessities” • Basic Necessities Survey • Locally defined • Easy to measure • Maps onto World Bank metrics

  11. 5 Measures “Imperfect but good enough”
