Machado, A.
Guidelines for Action Plans for animal species: Planning recovery
1997  Full Book

The "Guidelines for Action Plans" analyses the way Action Plans for threatened animal species are presently drafted and proposes guidelines for future Action Plans. This study is contractually considered to animal species and focuses mainly on Europe, although much of the discussion and recommendations apply equally to plants and can likewise be useful in regions outside of Europe. The first chapter is devoted to analyse the policy and legal background for animal recovery planning at the international, European and national levels. In the next chapter, the different types of existing plans, whether formal or informal, are studied from the structural point of view. Furthermore, based on the recommendations extracted from the literature, and as a result of the analyses accomplished in this study, a set of considerations and recommendations for future recovery planning are presented. Some technical and scientific aspects are also discussed, as well as public awareness and funding. Conceptual differences between Species Progress, Species Action Plans, Recovery Plans and Recovery Projects have been established in order to avoid confusion.
