How can I communicate my results?
While restoring your ecosystems, communicating your impact on the ground is also an important outcome for your project.
Accurate and detailed documentation is crucial for understanding and communicating the impacts of restoration activities.
To ensure your data is comprehensive and useful:
- Capture geo-coordinates and specifics
- Document geo-coordinates and environmental details at each sampling site.
- Note all significant observations in the field to capture real-time conditions and anomalies.
- Entry and transfer of data
- Transfer data from any physical records to the digital format as soon as possible. This ensures your findings are recorded in the shared open database while they’re still fresh, securing data quality and continuity of monitoring efforts.
- Evaluate and report
- After data collection, evaluate to discern trends and inform your plans/strategy.
- Write a baseline report detailing initial conditions and restoration targets.
- Subsequently, compare fresh data with this baseline to assess the effectiveness of the restoration actions.
- Through collaboration, produce and share detailed reports with the broader community and stakeholders at each cycle’s end.
