Topic 1: Valuing Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services – An Introduction
In this topic, we provide an overview of the consequences and causes of biodiversity loss, a description of the range of ecosystem services that nature provides, and an introduction to the concept of economic valuation of biodiversity and ecosystem services.
Duration: 45 minutes.
Developing Biodiversity Indicators
The course focuses primarily on the development of biodiversity indicators at the national and sub-national scales, but the steps are relevant to those developing site-level indicators too. The first five lessons focus on national biodiversity indicator development in general, while the sixth lesson considers the role of indicators in updating countries’ National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs).
Duration: Six short lessons, each of which takes about 30 to 45 minutes to complete.
This course is designed to help coral reef managers incorporate climate-smart design into their management activities by considering the effects of climate change on ecosystem stressors and implications for effective management. It describes the process of incorporating climate change adaptation into management plans using existing planned actions as a starting point, and also guides development of additional climate-smart strategies as needed.
Duration: 2 hours Available language: English Course Audience: This course is designed for coral reef managers and decision makers.

Protected Areas and Sustainable Development
This module discusses how ecosystem services can best be incorporated into protected area management, and in so doing contribute to sustainable development. The lessons will improve your knowledge of the links between managing protected areas for biodiversity conservation and for ecosystem services. The module is designed for protected area managers, conservation practitioners, and conservation policymakers.
Duration: 4 hours
In order to achieve our conservation goals, the conservation community must determine the extent to which our actions are working – and we must be able to diagnose why some actions succeed while others do not. In recent years, here has been great convergence among conservation organizations in thinking about how best to plan and implement conservation actions.
In the Introduction to the Conservation Open Standards lesson is designed to give you an overview of adaptive management and a process for doing adaptive management for conservation projects, based off the Open Standards for the Practice of Conservation.

Measures Demystified
The Nature Conservancy is offering this self-paced, online training curriculum on measures, which represents the assessment or third phase of the plan-do-check-adapt conservation management cycle.
This self-paced courses provides conservation practitioners with the opportunity to explore, at their own pace, the process of considering the audience and conservation context for monitoring programs, as well as reviewing the fundamentals of articulating program logic and experimental design for cost effective data collection, which we collectively refer to as “measures.”
Getting to Know GIS
This is the first course of a six course series designed to teach you the principles of GIS. This course focuses on the five GIS functions, a working definition of GIS, and the key differences between paper and digital maps.
Duration: 3 hours
Marine Spatial Planning
Without marine spatial planning, the delivery of diverse ecosystem services, now and in the future, is in jeopardy.
Este curso está diseñado para proporcionar una comprensión básica de la resiliencia de los arrecifes de coral. A través de tres clases separadas usted aprenderá sobre el valor de los arrecifes de coral, los factores estresantes locales y globales que causan deterioro de los arrecifes, la resiliencia ecológica y social, y cómo los administradores están trabajando para aumentar la resiliencia de los arrecifes de coral.
Duración: Aproximadamente 1 hora
Advanced Studies in Coral Reef Resilience
Este curso está diseñado para proporcionar a los administradores de arrecifes de coral y los profesionales de la orientación en profundidad sobre la gestión de la capacidad de recuperación. Este curso ofrece un análisis exhaustivo de los factores de estrés locales y globales que afectan a los arrecifes de coral, la guía para la identificación de resiliencia de los arrecifes de coral, los principios de diseño de las redes de AMP resilientes, los métodos para la aplicación de evaluaciones de resiliencia, e introduce importantes herramientas de comunicación para directivos.
Duración: Aproximadamente 9 horas
Coral Reef Restoration
This course is designed to provide coral reef managers and practitioners with best practice guidance for common coral reef restoration techniques. This course includes six lessons that discuss strategic planning and decision-making for coral restoration, enhancing coral populations through gardening and larval propagation, restoring reef structure for coastal protection services, rapid restoration response after acute disturbances, and monitoring for restoration success.
Este curso ofrece la formación a Indicadores de software Hidrológico Alteración (IHA) de The Nature Conservancy. IHA se utiliza para evaluar la forma en ríos, lagos y cuencas subterráneas se han visto afectados por las actividades humanas en el tiempo o para evaluar escenarios futuros de gestión del agua.

Facilitating Species Conservation Planning Workshops February 2020
This course is designed for conservation practitioners who want to design and facilitate a species conservation planning workshop. The processes, tools, and skills covered during this course are also relevant to those wanting to improve their management of group problem-solving, decision-making, and planning.

This course is currently offered by invitation only.
This module consists of 4 individual courses, providing you with the knowledge, tools and skills to be able to apply the ecosystem approach to fisheries management (EAFM). The module is based on the Essential Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management training course developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and IMA International. The online course and the translations of materials into Spanish were developed by TNC.
Topics covered include learning about the principles of EAFM and understanding why it is a preferred approach to sustainably managed fisheries. Practical advice on how to plan, implement and monitor the ecological, human and governance components of EAFM is provided along with a look at challenges that regional fisheries face in moving towards EAFM. Most importantly, this module provides an introduction to the people skills needed to incorporate an ecosystem approach into your existing fisheries management.
