A conservation plan articulates where and how your organization will protect specific natural resources and cultural values and ensure that the sites necessary for conservation success are protected. Conservation Impact’s conservation plans take an ecosystem approach so that the ecological and social connections of target species, natural communities, and cultural values to the landscape are evaluated and maintained for long term sustainability.

Strategic positioning is a more sophisticated approach to planning; it is where planning and marketing overlap. Positioning more fully considers your organization’s niche within its sphere of influence and analyzes market gaps and opportunities and the competitive environment. A positioning plan identifies your organization’s strongest position for impact and sustainability.
