Abstract

Conservation practitioners have to deal with strategies and actions in projects that are aimed at solving problems associated with complex socio‐ecological systems (Holling, ; Provencher, Schneider & Taylor, ). To improve the efficiency of this process, many approaches have been developed that fall within the project management framework (Margoluis et al., ). For example, the IUCN has developed a project cycle framework aimed at management effectiveness evaluation (Hockings et al., ): this framework refers to project design issues relating to complex, real world, socio‐ecological contexts, and addresses the adequacy and appropriateness of management, and delivery of objectives. The framework has six steps (context, planning, input, process, outputs and outcomes).For the last 20 years, I worked as a conservation practitioner in a public agency, managing six nature reserves in central Italy (Battisti, Franco & Luiselli, ): carrying out either the usual day‐to‐day conservation actions or projects focused on a range of challenging conservation issues (sensu Angelici, : e.g. managing wild boar, coypu and other alien species, as well as bird species of conservation concern, and carrying out threat analyses).
