Practical monitoring systems and independent evaluation for conservation projects.
Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) support for conservation organisations, NGOs, funders, and project teams. Services cover the design of monitoring frameworks, ecological and social assessments, and evaluation of project progress and outcomes.
Assignments can be carried out remotely or through on-site collaboration, including field visits when required.
Services
Monitoring Frameworks & Indicators
Design or improvement of monitoring and evaluation frameworks, including theories of change, logical frameworks, baselines, measurable indicators, and data collection plans. Approaches are tailored to project objectives, available resources, and funder requirements.
Field Monitoring & Assessment
Development of field survey methods and monitoring protocols for species, habitats, and conservation threats. Social assessments, including stakeholder interviews and surveys of attitudes, participation, and behaviour, can also be integrated.
Project Evaluation & Learning
Mid-term and final evaluations of conservation projects, examining implementation, results, challenges, and lessons learned. Findings are presented with practical recommendations for project improvement, management decisions, and donor reporting.
Services are particularly relevant to biodiversity conservation, birds and wetlands, community-based conservation, species protection, and behavioural interventions.

Relevant Experience
Services are provided by Iman Ebrahimi, a conservation psychologist and project leader with more than a decade of experience in conservation management, field monitoring, and applied research.
