Abstract
Abstract. In an era of environmental crises, conservation and management strategies
need a new generation of applied ecologists. Here, we stimulate the
next-generation applied ecologists to acquire a pragmatic mentality of
problems solvers in real contexts, using the wide arsenal of concepts,
approaches and techniques available in the project management (PM) arena using a
road map based on the main steps of conservation project cycle. The
acquisition of the conceptual and operational framework of PM can allow the
next-generation applied ecologists to take on a more important role in
nature conservation strategies: from data samplers, analyzers and
interpreters to suppliers of solutions and decisions driving changes in
species' targets inhabiting real contexts. Since the high number of applied
ecologists, this change in approach (from analytical to operational) could
make the difference in conservation science. We also provided, as a
conceptual framework, a set of suggestions and approaches useful to
facilitate this change.
