ORTEGA-ARGUETA, Alejandro  y  CONTRERAS-HERNANDEZ, Armando. Proposal for a Monitoring and Evaluation Framework for Recovery Programs of Species at Risk. Gest. polít. pública [online]. 2013, vol.22, n.2, pp.457-496. ISSN 1405-1079.

A monitoring and evaluation (M & E) framework is proposed for evaluating the effectiveness and results of recovery programs for species at risk of extinction. The proposal is based on analysis of a Mexican governmental program that implemented 14 recovery projects over a period of ten years, revision of eleven projects from a subsequent program, participatory observation and analysis of similar programs in other countries. The proposed framework is suitable for addressing the M & E needs of the current species at risk recovery projects in Mexico. Criteria and indicators are proposed that address ecological, management and socioeconomic aspects explicit within the conservation and management actions prescribed in the recovery projects. M & E activities involve the participation of several social sectors that collaborate in conservation initiatives. Indicators were standardized in order that the information obtained, analyzed and compared can be integrated into an environmental information system for the management of species at risk.

Palabras llave : biodiversity conservation; monitoring and evaluation; recovery programs for endangered species; adaptive management.
