Real life tends to be more complex and interesting than theory. The case studies presented here were chosen to illustrate some of the best examples of how Adaptive Conservation Strategies have been applied in the field. Case studies involved interviews with partners as well as PRBO project leaders (see Appendix 4 for a list of case study interview questions). These case studies focus on illustrating science-management partnerships at the project level. They illustrate how monitoring and stewardship at specific sites have improved or seek to improve conservation results and how project learning is shared through Adaptive Conservation Plans. The “Pointers for Practitioners ” provided in Chapter 3 were also gleaned from these same case studies. However, the pointers concentrate on the process of establishing an Adaptive Conservation Strategy, particularly high-functioning science-management teams, that will facilitate results such as those cited here. The case studies presented include:
