Project Manuals The CLP has published several manuals that my help you with your work, including The Conservation Project Manual, Expedition Field Technigues - Bird Surveys, and guidelines on writing good research questions. The Conservation Project Manual The basic aim of this book is to help people to improve the process by which they go about planning and managing small to medium-sized conservation projects. By using a number of tried and tested methods and illustrative examples, the manual will enable users to work through their own concepts and create a project plan. The manual is founded on the belief that a good plan makes the fundraising and subsequent implementation and management of a project easier and success more likely. If you are encountering problems dowloading the Tibetan language manual, please download a copy from www.ffichina.org or contact FFI's office in China. Expedition Field Techniques - Bird Surveys This book is a vital tool for everyone wishing to contribute to our knowledge of the world's birds and to bird conservation. Despite birds being the best known class of living organisms there are still substantial gaps in our knowledge of the distributions, abundances and densities of species. Birds can be good indicators of biodiversity and environmental change and as such can be used to make strategic conservation planning decisions for the wider environment. To make the best decisions, it is most important that the information on which such decisions are made is as accurate, systematic and representative as possible. The methods in this book will enable the user to survey birds simply and effectively. Writing an Abstract for an Article, Proposal or Report This short document provides a summary of how to write a concise, clear abstract and why it is an important skill to develop. Anyone looking for more detailed information on the process of writing and submitting a scientific journal article should consult the website of Oryx - The International Journal of Conservation Writing Good Questions, Hypotheses and Methods for Conservation Projects: A Quick Reference Guide This guide provides a set of basic tips for students and researchers to propose and plan a conservation initiative that is clear and concise. We hope that these suggestions will help applicants to effectively formulate good conservation questions, as well as clear hypotheses and predictions. The document also describes the information that must be included in the methods section of a conservation project. These recommendations will increase the probability of a project being evaluated positively by the reviewers, which will ultimately increase the likelihood of the project being funded.
