Effective conservation planning: The perception of high level stakeholders in Australia
The discipline of systematic conservation planning began gaining popularity in the 2000s [1] and is now widely used to assess trade-offs between potential conservation actions. Almost two decades on it is now possible to observe the longer-term impacts of the discipline. The Great Barrier Reef Representative Areas Program and the North East New South Wales Regional Forest Agreements in Australia are considered test cases of systematic conservation planning, but their success is often taken for granted. What made these plans talking points, how transferrable are the lessons learned, and how do the perspectives of key stakeholders differ when it comes to reported outcomes? As far as we are aware, this is the first time that evaluations of conservation plans have extended beyond the perspectives of scientists and planning personnel. We interviewed senior representatives of major stakeholder groups involved in planning negotiations, including scientists, public servants, politicians, environmental and industry representatives. 32 semi-structured interviews were undertaken, accompanied by questionnaires to query the types of outcomes interviewees had observed during and after the planning processes. We employed a framework of reporting outcomes by five types of capital (natural, social, human, institutional and financial), originally developed by Bottrill and Pressey [2]. Qualitative coding and document analysis were used to explore themes relating to the temporality of different outcomes, the availability of monitoring and reporting evidence, and the relative role of systematic conservation planning in the broader context of natural resource planning. We found that natural capital outcomes were less frequently reported than outcomes relating to social, financial, institutional and human capital, but were more likely to be reported in the longer term. There was broad agreement amongst stakeholders in both case studies about the importance of systematic conservation planning principles and tools in shaping the ...
