Moving from Mission to Outcomes | Ensuring Your Conservation Impact

These workshops provide any size organization with a foundation for operationalizing their own pragmatic, compelling, and impactful conservation efforts.

Registration details for the 2024 Summer Session here.

TESSERE Zoo + Aquarium Market, Reverse the Red, and the IUCN Species Survival Commission have partnered to facilitate conservation impact workshops that provide any size organization with a foundation for operationalizing their own pragmatic, compelling, and impactful conservation efforts.  These workshops support organizations in establishing an understanding of existing conservation programs and in prioritizing, organizing, and measuring initiatives.  At the conclusion of the workshop, organizations have clarity of purpose and an articulated strategy to deliver on their conservation mission.

In each 3-part series, participants:

• Form an inventory of their organization’s existing conservation programs.
• Conduct a SWOT analysis.
• Prioritize and organize initiatives using an assessment matrix.
• Develop logic models with SMART objectives and metrics.

Topics include:

• A global perspective on the state of conservation.
• The business case for conservation.
• Leveraging organizational capacity & partnerships.
• Building support.
