Recommended: "The practices noted in this document represent a mixture of “good,” and, in some cases, “best” practice drawn from those that are well known and that have been shown to be effective when used appropriately. However, it should be recognized that “best practice” is constantly evolving and must also be adapted to each specific site and its environment. This document therefore represents a “menu” of sound biodiversity conservation practices from which can be chosen the most appropriate measures that fit the operational and geographic setting."
