Land/Water Management*
This category contains all interventions involved in directly managing habitats. It includes interventions directed at conserving or restoring sites, habitats and the wider environment. There are three subcategories:
1. Site/Area Management
This subcategory covers the actual management of the land or water. It includes management of protected areas and other resource lands for conservation. Examples of specific interventions are site design, demarcating borders, putting up fences, training park staff, and control of poachers.
2. Invasive/Problematic Species Control
This subcategory includes interventions related to controlling and/or preventing invasive and/or other problematic plants, animals, and pathogens. Examples of specific species include cutting vines off trees, and preventing ballast water discharge.
3. Habitat and Natural Process Restoration
This subcategory involves the restoration of degraded lands and natural processes, as opposed to the protection of existing ones. It includes interventions aimed to enhance degraded or restore missing habitats and ecosystem functions, dealing with pollution. Examples of specific restoration interventions include creating forest corridors, prairie re-creation, riparian tree plantings, coral reef restoration, proscribed burns, breaching levees, dam removal, fish ladders, liming acid lakes, and cleaning up oil spills.
