Atlas of Biodiversity
Why Is It Working? • Regional in scope
• Leverages investment
• Leverages competencies
• Inclusive, including new voices
• Multiple, interconnected outcomes
• Strategic; sets priorities
• Fun and engaging for the public
• Connects people with nature
including new audiences
Challenges • Comprehensive scope difficult to
grasp
• Lacks discrete on-the-ground
outcome
• Ambitious brand strategy on small
budget
• Danger of “institutionalization”
• Danger of competition with partners
• Communicating “business case” in
down economy
