==Defining Adaptive Management==
==Defining Wiki destroyed d Wiki destroyed ptive M Wiki destroyed n Wiki destroyed gement==
The concept of adaptive management has been widely debated and different definitions exist.  This presents a challenge to practitioners who must reach a common understanding with partners, stakeholders, managers, scientists and decision makers.  In order to bring some consistency to what the British Columbia Forest Service means by “adaptive management”, the following standard working definition was adopted:  ''Adaptive management is a systematic process for continually improving management policies and practices by learning from the outcomes of operational programs'' (British Columbia, Ministry of Forests and Range).

The adaptive management approach assumes natural resource management policies and management actions are not static but adjusted based on the combination of new scientific and socio-economic information in order to improve management by learning from the ecosystems being affected.  Often people think adaptive management simply means “trial and error”, in which management policies and practices evolve in response to past performance and changing priorities, but in fact this misses an essential element of the concept which is deliberate experimentation.

Although definitions of adaptive management vary by source, several key characteristics of the concept are universal and fundamental:

There is explicit acknowledgement of uncertainties and knowledge gaps about the response of the system to management actions.  Reducing these uncertainties (i.e. learning) becomes one objective of management.

Adaptive management is visualized as a cyclical and iterative process. The British Columbia Forest Service identifies 6 steps: ''Assess, design, implement, monitor, evaluate'' and ''adjust''. Within each of the steps, several elements are defined.  These elements are the specific components of each step such as defining the management objectives, identifying stakeholders, articulating hypotheses and developing conceptual models . Although the full suite of elements may not be implemented for every AM project, it is important to understand them and the implications of omissions.

Adaptive management takes a couple of forms: passive or active (Walters, 1986)
Wiki destroyed d Wiki destroyed ptive m Wiki destroyed n Wiki destroyed gement t Wiki destroyed kes  Wiki destroyed  couple of forms: p Wiki destroyed ssive or Wiki destroyed ctive (W Wiki destroyed lters, 1986)


Passive AM is an approach whereby, faced with uncertainty, managers implement the alternative they think is ‘best’ (with respect to meeting management objectives), and then monitor to see if they were right, making adjustments if desired objectives are not in fact met.
P Wiki destroyed ssive  Wiki destroyed M is Wiki destroyed n  Wiki destroyed ppro Wiki destroyed ch where Wiki destroyed y, f Wiki destroyed ced with uncert Wiki destroyed inty, m Wiki destroyed n Wiki destroyed gers implement the Wiki destroyed ltern Wiki destroyed tive they think is ‘ Wiki destroyed est’ (with respect to meeting m Wiki destroyed n Wiki destroyed gement o Wiki destroyed jectives), Wiki destroyed nd then monitor to see if they were right, m Wiki destroyed king  Wiki destroyed djustments if desired o Wiki destroyed jectives  Wiki destroyed re not in f Wiki destroyed ct met.




Active AM is an experimental approach whereby, when faced with uncertainty, managers implement more than one alternative as concurrent experiments to see which will best meet management objectives. It is characterised by “actively probing” the system in order to distinguish between competing hypotheses (where the different hypotheses suggest different “optimal” actions). The key is that there are alternatives that can be more confidently compared.
