As environmental problems grow larger and more pressing,
conservationists have had to adapt. With a shrinking window of time
to act, they are turning to broad approaches to combat continental-
and global-scale crises of biodiversity loss, invasive species, and
climate change. Pathways to Success—the long-awaited successor to
the classic volume Measures of Success—is a modern guide to
building large-scale transformative programs capable of tackling
the complex conservation crises we face today. In this strikingly
illustrated volume, coauthors Nick Salafsky and Richard Margoluis
walk readers through fundamental concepts of effective
program-level design, helping them to think strategically about
project coordination, funding, and stakeholder input. Chapters in
the first part of the book look at all aspects of designing and
implementing large-scale conservation programs while the second
part focuses on how to use data and information to manage, adapt,
and learn from program strategies. In addition, the authors offer
practical advice for avoiding pitfalls, such as formulaic recipes
and simplistic silver-bullet solutions that can trip up otherwise
well-intentioned efforts. Abundant graphics help to explain and
clarify concepts presented in the text, and a glossary in the back
matter defines technical terms for the reader. Pathways to Success
is the definitive guide for conservation program managers and
funders who want to increase the scale and effectiveness of their
work combating biodiversity loss, climate change, and other
pressing environmental issues.
