Conservation Standards Overview Training PowerPoints

CMP and CCNet members have updated the basic presentations supporting the Conservation Standards Steps 1-2. These presentations use high-quality photographs and reduced text on slides, and they include detailed presenters’ notes. As new presentations are developed, they will be added to the site.

If you have any feedback, suggestions, or corrections for us on any slide(s) or presentation(s) we would love to hear it – please use this feedback form.

You can find all current CS Training PowerPoints in the Resource Library, and hyperlinked below.

Coaching and Help

Coaches: Support for the use of the Conservation Standards is available from organizations, individual consultants, and coaches affiliated with the Conservation Coaches Network (CCNet). CCNet, a close partner of the Conservation Measures Partnership (CMP), aims to foster an engaged cadre of coaches on every continent to support teams working to protect the most important places and solve the most challenging issues for their regions.
