2.1.13

(For wild collection) Wild collection practices are assessed for performance and impact and adjusted with a view to continuous improvement, changing conditions and/or addressing unintended negative effects.

The implementation of practices as per 2.1.10 is monitored yearly. The long-term survival of the sourced and interdependent species is assessed every three years through the monitoring the regeneration rate. This can be done using internal monitoring systems and expertise or by commissioning external experts (e.g. universities/researchers). The UEBT BAP Monitoring tool can be used to report information on the progress in implementation of practices and on the regeneration rate over time. The monitoring is adequate when it provides knowledge for the adjustments of the practices.
Collections practices are changed when proven to be unsuitable to the context and not able to meet the expected results in terms of ensuring long-term survival of collected and interdependent species. OaS is responsible for the monitoring and for informing and discussing results with field operators as well as possible changes in the practices.

DOCUMENTATION

Studies or other assessments of the regeneration rate of the collected and interdependent species can be used as a evidence to assess compliance. Registers and other monitoring tools where practices implementation is traced can be used as evidence to assess compliance. The UEBT BAP Monitoring tool filled out with progress in practices implementation and regeneration rates can be used as evidence to assess compliance. Practices implementation plans updated after monitoring can be used as evidence to assess compliance.

INTERVIEWS

Conversations with relevant informants confirming the implementation of monitoring activities and changes in practice as a result of the monitoring can be used as evidence to assess compliance.

Scoring guidance

0 - Information does not exist on the implementation of practices as per 2.1.10 nor on the long terms survival of sourced and interdependent species
1 - Information is available on the implementation of practices as per 2.1.10 only and/or does not provide adequate knowledge to inform the adjustment of those practices
2 - Information is available on both implementation of practices as per 2.1.10 and on the long-term survival of sourced and interdependent species but only some of the needed adjustments to the practices are implemented
3 - Information is available on both implementation of practices as per 2.1.10 and on the long-term survival of sourced and interdependent species and all the needed adjustments to the practices are implemented or adjustments are not needed
