  1. Using Conservation Action Planning (or Open Standards for the Practice of Conservation) to develop Management Plans for Cultural Values

  2. Framework Identify: • Priority values for conservation/protection • Current condition of values • Desired condition of values • Key issues or factors degrading values • Management strategies to abate those sources of degradation

  3. Examples of how this works

  4. 1. Priority values • Identify different types of cultural heritage values - can be based on: • Common location: e.g. same watershed, same family or clan territory, same village • Common use or importance: especially for objects or even CMTs • Common form: e.g. village sites, movable artifacts, canoes, poles • Unique or rare objects: equivalent to species fine filter in natural values • If not all values are important for management or conservation, page 7 of the pdf gives some ideas of ways to prioritize those that are most important for a focus of the management plan

  5. 2 & 3. Current and desired conditionof TANGIBLE VALUES • This step is used to determine whether active management is required. • Identify criteria upon which to describe the current condition. • 3 types of criteria for evaluating condition: • Conceptual content - how well the value reflects socio/cultural significance • Physical condition - how deteriorated is the physical object • Natural and social context - status of the environmental regimes (light, temperature, flooding, etc…) and the social factors (e.g. understanding in the community, land tenure, etc…) that are important to maintaining the condition of the value Page 8 and 9 of the pdf discuss this in more detail Once the criteria have been identified, assess current condition and what is the desired condition to determine whether active management is needed

  6. 2 & 3 For INTANGIBLE VALUES Criteria to use for assessing condition

  7. 4. Key Issues For values with current conditions ≠ desired condition…. • Identify the consequences of degradation and the sources of degradation • Find the most important sources of degradation Deterioration effects – e.g. • Loss of Conceptual Meaning • Destruction • Loss of traditional knowledge • Causes of Deterioration – e.g. • Weathering • Looting • Inadequate management of tourism • Lack of institutional support for local/native culture • Prioritization criteria: • Severity or Intensity • Scope • Prioritization criteria: • Importance • Irreversibility

  8. 5. Strategies • Identify management actions that can address the most important sources of degradation
