engaged in:
A. adaptive management.
B. reactive management.
C. passive management.
D. None of the above
What is passive management? Under passive management, conservation managers embark upon a single course
of action but do not perform monitoring to measure the outcome and do not
provide opportunity for new information to influence future actions.
What is adaptive management? Under adaptive management, conservation managers design and manage their
projects to learn from their actions, monitor to measure the outcome, and then
plan future actions based on the findings.
What is reactive management? Under reactive management, conservation managers embark upon a single
course of action but change that course of action as events arise or new
information becomes available.
