Our Project Team Team, Scope, & Vision


• Projects focused on biodiversity of a specific place have a geographic scope (project area)

• Others have a thematic scope (which can be a target, threat or strategy) – although they often have a loose geographic boundary

Define Scope

Condor Bioreserve, Ecuador


Geographic Scope: Wetlands and bordering habitat on Swan Coastal Plain

Wetlands Example of Scope


Scope in Miradi Team, Scope, & Vision

Scope tabSummary Mode

Possible Scope for Meso-American Reef

Project Scope: Meso-American Reef ecoregion

Team: Conservation organization’s ecoregional team (core), partner NGOs



Project Scope: Meso-American Reef ecoregion and adjacent watersheds




Project Scope: Meso-American Reef Priority Sites Identified Through Ecoregional Assessment (Current & Future Management Areas)



Example of a Project With a Thematic Scope (Threat)

Project Title: Market Transformation Initiative – Palm Oil component

Thematic (and Geographic) Project Scope: Countries where high conservation value (HCV) forests are being converted to palm oil


Project Title:

Global Tiger Initiative

Thematic (and Geographic) Project Scope: Areas where tiger populations are still viable or can be restored

Example of a Project With a Thematic Scope (Target)


Project Title: Rare “Pride Campaigns” (social marketing) for Sustainable Fishing in Latin America

Thematic (and Geographic) Project Scope: Priority sites where overfishing is having a high impact on biodiversity (Mesoamerican Reef, Gulf of California and Galapagos)

Example of a Project With a Thematic Scope (Strategy)



Define Your Vision Statement


Define Your Vision Statement

Vision Statement: A description of the desired state or ultimate condition that a project is working to achieve.

A good vision statement should meet the following criteria:

Relatively general: Broadly defined to encompass all project activities

Visionary: Inspirational in outlining the desired change in the state of the targets toward which the project is working

Brief: Simple and succinct so that all project participants can remember it


Wetlands Example of a Vision Statement

Project Scope: Wetlands and bordering habitat on Swan Coastal Plain

Vision Statement: Long-term conservation of high value wetlands and adjacent habitats on the Swan Coastal Plain so that they persevere as rich and viable biodiversity habitats for all wildlife, and for the benefit and appreciation of future generations.
