Overview of the Design for Conservation Methodology
摘要
This chapter provides an overview of the Design for Conservation (D4C) methodology, a participatory framework for tackling complex environmental challenges. Structured around five interconnected stages: (Re)Connect, Understand, Propose and Validate, Plan for Impact, and Deploy Sustainably; D4C offers 22 adaptable tools to guide collaborative, creative, and values-driven conservation projects. Grounded in systems thinking and cultural humility, the methodology supports diverse applications, from grassroots initiatives to policy integration and funding proposals.
