  • Steps for Developing Performance Measures
  • Conceptual Models
  • Logic Models and Other Simple Tools for Identifying Management Indicators
  • Other Tools and Approaches for Selecting Performance Measures
  • Sample Indicators for Wildlife Management Activities
  • Outcome Measures for Wildlife Conservation at the State or Regional Level
  • Linking State and Local Performance Measures to National Environmental Indicators
  • Data Sources, Management and Reporting

While geared toward developing U.S. State Wildlife Action Plans, the concepts and examples presented are intended to be applied to a much broader audience.
