Mallard statement

Would be good to add some support for assertion that Mallard management is most successful example of adaptive management.

Thanks for adding references to the mallard statement, but (Johnson et al., 1993; Nichols et al., 2007) isn't the proper Wikipedia format and we need the entire citation. --Kellyoyo (talk) 23:47, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Successful applications

What about many successful applications in Australian fisheries?

We could add a section about successful applications of AM if people could provide the appropriate references. --Kellyoyo (talk) 23:47, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Incomplete List

The 5 item list of process failures at the bottom of the "What is adaptive management?" is incomplete. The fourth item reads "The analyzed results (Boormann et al. 1999)." and there is no fifth item 166.5.136.81 (talk) 00:33, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • I found the source (Elzinga-1998) and put in all five. There was no mention of these in Moore-2010 or Bormann-1999, so I removed those citations. Sngordon (talk) 00:15, 25 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Adaptive Management in International Development

Below is a draft additional section since adaptive management is being used outside of just conservation in international development.

The concept of adaptive management is not restricted to natural resources or ecosystem management, as similar concepts have been applied to international development programming. [1] [2] This has often been a recognition to the “wicked” nature of many development challenges and the limits of traditional planning processes.[3] [4] [5] Often adaptive management is linked to a number of other development trends including Doing Development Differently, Politically Informed Programming and Problem Driven Iterative Adaptation. [6] [7] [8]

One recent example of the use of Adaptive Management by international development donors is the planned Global Learning for Adaptive Management (GLAM) programme to support adaptive management in DFID and USAID. The program is establishing a centre for learning about adaptive management to support the utilization and accessibility of adaptive management. [9] In addition, donors have been focused on amending their own programmatic guidance to reflect the importance of learning within programs. For instance, USAID’s recent focus on in their ADS guidance on the importance of Collaborating, Learning and Adapting.[10] [11] This is also reflected in DFID’s Smart Rules that provides the operating framework for their programs including the use of evidence to inform their decisions.[12]

It seems this request was already fulfilled. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 01:16, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Added paragraph at end of Effectiveness section about time and capacity building

I've added a short paragraph at the end of the Effectiveness section about the extra time needed for capacity building when implementing the adaptive management framework in remote and/or developing areas. Also included is a great case study from WCS in Laos published in 2013 that details all of the challenges and solutions the team faced during on-the-ground implementation of adaptive management. If necessary, this information could be merged into an existing paragraph or a different section, but I think it is a useful source and perspective to include.

Wikipedia is no venue to highlight single case studies, but to provide a general overview of established knowledge. Please see also WP:NPOV about a neutral point of view. While this is an interesting project, articles should not advocate certain causes in undue weight. GermanJoe (talk) 06:20, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
