CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT STRATEGY FOR THE ELEPHANT IN KENYA 33 2.2 Structure of this strategic document The logical structure of this Kenyan Elephant Conservation Strategy can be seen from the ‘Plan-at-a-glance’ (Figure 1) in the executive summary. The Vision sets out the desired situation to be achieved in the future. As such it represents a long-term goal. This strategy has a 10-year time horizon, and sets measurable short-term Conservation Goals. By achieving these goals, progress towards achieving the long-term Vision will have been made. The strategy identifies a number of Key Strategic Objectives namely: 1. Protection 2. Population expansion and habitat maintenance 3. Research and monitoring for management 4. Human elephant conflict 5. Incentives 6. Capacity 7. Coordination and support Achieving all of these Key Strategic Objectives is essential to successfully meeting the short-term Conservation Goals. In the body of the Strategy, a brief Rationale section is given for each Key Strategic Objective explaining why the particular Key Strategic Objective is important to meeting the Conservation Goals. The Strategy also lists a number of Objective Targets which are measurable steps that describe what needs to be accomplished to meet each Key Strategic Objective. These Objective Targets should be SMART (i.e. Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time-based). Each Objective Target is also specified with a list of Actions which need to be implemented in order to achieve the particular target. In addition, Indicators of Success are defined for each Action which help to define what each Action is intended to achieve, and to determine when the Action has been performed successfully by those individuals or organisation (Actors) responsible for the Actions.
