Conservation Methodology

• Conservation principles have to provide empowerment for the people rather than by the people.  This holistic approach gives societies a voice in their own fate.  Conservation organizations need to design project models that help communities self manage their local resources.  This requires a community based approach to integrate social science, business practices and economies without submitting to government indifference.                                                                                                                                                                   
• Conservation organizations have to promote social entrepreneurship.  We need to think outside the traditional box to create innovative action that develops economic relationships between people and nature.  Problems have been growing faster than innovative conservation therefore every new solution needs to be trans formative and scalable.  This requires behavioral change. 

• Innovative thinkers have to  look at the fundamental problem, than conceptualize how to facilitate local, regional and international cultural changes.  We understand why and where we are losing biodiversity, but we have to move beyond the application of biology to conservation work.   We need to stop assessing scholarly analysis over practical action.  

• Management agencies, with control of biological resources that influence the local economies and personal growth, need to be open for adaptations. This will allow the use of prototypical approaches designed to create better incentives for stewardship among local communities. (view pictures below)

• Conservative entrepreneurship  allows for constant adjustments according to changes from catastrophic weather to growing populations. Regional conservation initiatives allow for cultural "in the social fabric" change which creates everlasting wide range of outcomes that benefits healthier and sustainable living.
