Since the World Conservation Strategy (WCS) recommended in 1980 that countries undertake national and sub-national conservation strategies, hundreds of countries and communities have developed and implemented strategies.

This handbook combines 14 years of comprehensive strategy experience in Africa, Asia, Latin America and in a number of OECD countries, gathered by practitioners who have been involved in past strategies and green plans.

The three sections of the book are a guide to approaching national strategies, the processes involved in the strategy cycle itself, and the resources needed to drive the strategy.
