Biodiversity Monitoring Report
1. Introduction
The Biodiversity Monitoring System (BMS) aims to improve the information available for
decision—makers in protected areas through the regular collection of data on natural biological
resources and their utilization. The focus is on identifying trends in biodiversity and its use so as
to guide action in PA management. In addition, the BMS is intended to improve the participation
of protected area communities in PA management.
1. Focus Group Discussion (FGD) are held quarterly in _______ sites. This method generates
information regarding trends in the use of resources, trends in the status of selected
resources, and trends in status of households benefitting from the use of resources. The
information is mainly based on local communities’ own perception of trends. Data gathered
continuously from a number of representative communities can provide a valid picture of
general trends.
2. Field Diaries are used by_______ PA Staff during regular patrols and other field activities in
the protected area. This method comprises standardized recording of routine observations
on resource use and wildlife in a simple pocketbook or data sheet. Information may be own
observations or second-hand information.
3. Photo Documentation is done at ________ permanent points by taking photos of the
landscape from the same place every quarter. The new photos are compared with older ones
to detect changes in the forest cover.
4. Transects are somewhat similar to routine patrolling using field diary. However, transects are
permanent demarcated routes where there are precise recommendations on where to walk,
when to do it, and what to note. Transects are undertaken along _______ permanent transect
routes every quarter.
