Effective Policy & Action

Events in KBA defining processEvents in KBA defining process

• 2004.4 – 2004.12: Develop contracts with key partners for KBA data resource. (Sichuan Forest Academic, Harvard

University, etc) , and reference study.• 2004.10: Workshop I, introduce KBA and Outcome

Mapping and Monitoring project to partners, and done the information survey.

• 2005.5: Workshop II, present the first cut of KBA to partners, collecting comments; Build up Eco-partners; Identify indicators for Outcome Monitoring, refine KBA after workshop.

• 2006.9: Policy promotion, present KBA results and proposed conservation actions to major stakeholders (State Forest Administration, State Environment Protection Administration.)
