| Short Web Description: |
| Rapid Agrobiodiversity Appraisal (RABA) is not a technical biodiversity appraisal. A standardized way to appraise ‘diversity’ is a contradiction in terminis – it is likely to miss out on unique dimensions.
The method is intended to be an iterative, stepwise approach, suggesting that the user can update new information and modify the approach to suit localities. If a first screening suggests that there is little opportunity for successful negotiations of ‘rewards for biodiversity conservation’ the process can stop there. If the first indication is positive,
a more detailed assessment can clarify the strength of the case or reveal the pitfalls that have to be avoided.
RABA is set up to be the equivalent of the Rapid Hydrological Appraisal (RHA)
and the Rapid Carbon Stock Appraisal (RaCSA). |
