Abstract/Summary:
SER’s Certified Ecological Restoration Practitioner (CERP) Program encourages a high professional standard for those who are designing, implementing, overseeing, and monitoring restoration projects throughout the world.
Relevance for the Short Term Action Plan on Ecosystem
Restoration:
By developing criteria for restoration practitioners to be approved for CERP, and continuing education requirements for maintenance or certification, the CERP program contributes to activity B10. Certified practitioners, in turn, can contribute to activities C1, C3, C4, and C5 regarding restoration planning and implementation, and activities D1, D2, and D3 regarding project monitoring.
- B10: Promote and support capacity-building, training, and technology transfer
- C1: Identify appropriate measures for conducting ecosystem restoration
- C3: Develop ecosystem restoration plans with clear/measurable objectives and goals
- C4: Develop explicit implementation tasks, schedules, and budgets
- C5: Implement the measures
- D1: Assess the efficacy and effects of implementing the ecosystem restoration plan
- D2: Adjust plans, expectations, procedures, and monitoring through adaptive management
- D3: Share lessons learned from planning, financing, implementing and monitoring ecosystem restoration plans
