Day 1 2 Socioeconomic Thematic Groups
1. Identify Threats, determine impacts, and
depict them geographically
Example Pressure from Refugee Camps
Example Intense Slash and Burn Agriculture
Example Pressure Population Expansion
2. Identify and analyze trends or processes that
are having an impact on conservation
- Institutional frameworks constraining this
trend or process - Financial constraints affecti
ng this trend or process - What actions would le
ssen the impacts of this trend or process
