Solving problems in endangered species conservation: an introduction to problem orientation

Article Abstract:

Problem solving in endangered species programmes can present many significant challenges. However, it is clear that benefits can be derived from a problem oriented approach in which there is a strategy of understanding the problem, including its context, instead of concentrating on the most desirable technical solution. There are five problem orientation tasks, each of which should be addressed whenever practicable in endangered species conservation. These tasks, which can be undertaken quickly, make it possible to gain a broad understanding of the context of a problem.

Conserving biodiversity in the real world: professional practice using a policy orientation

Article Abstract:

Conservation biologists have differing ideas regarding the scope and nature of their roles in seeking the preservation of viable ecosystems and biological diversity. While their duties exclude direct action on ecologically harmful social factors, policy orientation, or an understanding of certain policy processes, can provide biologists numerous opportunities for sharing scientific information and recommendations which can help stem resource degradation.

Learning as a strategy for improving endangered species conservation

Article Abstract:

Promoting the learning ability of professionals and organizations at multiple levels improves the ecosystem and species recovery and conservation. Organizational learning depends upon individual learning and requires a double feedback loop of altering strategies. Sociocultural, emotional, and cognitive limits are inherent restrictions on learning by individuals and organizations. Researchers suggest that learning increases intelligence and perception.
