Biggest Successes
• High & growing demand from WWF field offices
• Effective collaboration to:– Inform decisions in priority places i.e. Sumatra, Belize– Improve tools based on feedback from field – Innovate on applied science e.g. scenarios, SPI tools,
InVEST improvements– Trainings with new/challenging model needs
Challenges
• Focusing sufficient staff on top priorities
• Not yet fully harnessing power of WWF on influence & science
• Sense of inequity across support for TNC and WWF
Possible Solutions
• Refocus – Consolidate our resources in 1-2 selected priorities– Engage early to build ideas and proposals
• Recommit to potential of partnership for our mission– Draw more on WWF policy, markets and science strengths
• Improve credibility of NatCap science– Be open to methods that work, not just our own– Validate and publish
