This newsletter aims to inform readers about the concepts, projects, and events related to adaptive management, particularly within British Columbia. A central theme is the distinction between single-loop learning, which focuses on fixing immediate problems within existing assumptions, and double-loop learning, which involves questioning the underlying assumptions and objectives. The newsletter champions adaptive management as a method for incorporating double-loop learning into organizational routines to better manage complex ecological systems. It discusses practical aspects of implementing adaptive management, including project updates and addressing barriers like the challenge of replication in experimental design, offering potential solutions and emphasizing the importance of learning and adapting management strategies based on experience.
