16. Building leadership and professionalism At a recent workshop in Mexico, QLF Fellowship alumni discussed a regional strategy for land conservation. Brent Mitchell Box 3. Con ser va tion Study In sti tute (CSI) Status: Government sector – US National Park Service – operated in partnership with other organizations. Mission: The Conservation Study Institute serves the US National Park Service and the conservation community by creating opportunities for dialogue, inquiry, and lifelong learning to enhance the stewardship of parks, landscapes, and communities. The Institute was established by the US National Park Service to enhance leadership and to stay informed of new developments in the field of conservation. Although a national program, the Institute is based at Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park in Woodstock, Vermont – a national park that tells the story of conservation and the evolving nature of land stewardship in America. Activities: Through a variety of programs, CSI assesses new directions in conservation, identifies best practices, and shares this information through a publications series and website as well as seminars and workshops. For example, the experience of 50 national and international conservation practitioners is described in The Landscape of Conservation Stewardship (2000). The analysis of these case studies identifies three common threads of successful conservation stewardship: 1) a sense of place that is complex and multi-faceted; 2) community-based conservation that is com - prehensive, collaborative, respectful, and self-sustaining; and 3) a foundation of commitment and passion that works in concert with a sound scientific understanding to provide enduring inspiration. More recently, CSI was a co-sponsor of a national symposium on the future of conservation. Reconstructing Conservation: Finding Common Ground (2003), a book synthesising the findings of this symposium, describes conservation as encompassing a broad range of values, linking nature and culture, working at a larger scale across disciplines and political boundaries, and collaborating with a wide range of stakeholders. The Institute also works with partners to explore contemporary practice and examine key strategies such as partnerships and collaboration. For example, CSI and QLF/Atlantic Center for the Environment convened two workshops on partnerships to create the opportunity for practitioners to reflect on what they have learned and have a focused dialogue with their peers. Two CSI reports (Collaboration and Conservation, 2001 and 2004) document their insights and lessons learned. CSI and QLF have also cooperated on international exchange as a means to foster innovation and develop leadership. Through this program, colleagues from the US and other countries exchange experience, explore common challenges, and develop creative strategies for conservation. In 1999, CSI and QLF co-sponsored an International Working Session on the Stewardship of Protected Landscapes and one of the important outcomes was creation of the IUCN/World Commission on Protected Areas’s Protected Landscapes Task Force. This group provides a network for ongoing communication and, in particular, exchange of successful models for conservation of lived-in landscapes.

The Protected Landscape Approach: Linking Nature, Culture and Community A Conservation Study Institute workshop for educators in Vermont, USA. Kathleen Diehl/U.S. Forest Service awareness of the new approach and providing professional development for the National Park Service and other conservation organizations through a variety of means, as described in Box 3. Protected landscape partnerships Box 4 draws our attention to partnerships as an emerging feature of the management of protected areas that is also of value in professional development and organizational capacitybuilding. Partnerships can take many forms and be established for a variety of purposes. The Box 4. EUROPARC Federation Status: Federated membership NGO Programme: Partnership and Exchange Programme This programme (conducted between 1994 and 1998) facilitated partnerships for technical co-operation between protected areas in Europe, Asia and Latin America. The programme had financial support from the European Commission and helped to establish 15 long-term partnerships, which led to the sharing of information and expertise, staff exchanges, joint workshops and seminars, and joint problem-solving. In an Expertise Exchange Programme (conducted from 2000–2001), the Federation used partnership-building as one tool to facilitate expertise exchange for sustainable nature protection. Through this programme, eight partnerships were established, including that between Snowdonia National Park in the UK (a protected landscape) and the Krkonoe (Czech Republic) and Karkonosze (Poland) National Parks, which together comprise a transfrontier Biosphere Reserve. In this example, the partnership “has already secured a strong and secure base for the continuation of co-operation long into the future.” Activities have included staff exchanges, and joint situation analysis and problem-solving.
