Description
The Conservation Measures Partnership is a collaborative effort of conservation NGOs, foundations, and agencies working to improve the practice of biodiversity conservation. CMP is best known for the Open Standards for the Practice of Conservation (also called Conservation Standards), a framework that helps organisations design, manage, and measure effective conservation projects. By harmonising approaches and sharing knowledge, CMP aims to ensure conservation actions are evidence-based, adaptive, and scalable.
