Vision of the present and future
Information is as valuable as any natural or human resource in supporting an integrated management effort at any place, in every organization where natural and human resources are managed for long term goals, but especially in wildlife and protected area management. This is certainly a goal to take efforts toward in the coming decades and in the interest of common conservation goals of all key players. At present we recognize, that frame works and structures of technical collaboration and community building need to be strengthened if we would like to support the access to management information systems and their adequate and efficient use.
PAMIS aims to ensure the ongoing trust in processing data through information managing systems via the exchange of best practices and communication standards. Communication and collaboration between science, public and praxis is essential for the sustainability of any large scale project. As key elements of sustainability in practice, communication and the awareness of dynamically occurring changes and their adequate management are embraced by collaboration through the constant exchange of information between it's members, including educational sessions on various levels.
Collaboration will be sustainable if it's collaborators understand the necessity to actively contribute to a learning organization. These efforts will be facilitated and coordinated through a technical user and learning environment for collaboration groups which allows to store and access the results of learning experience. To maintain sustainability and a dynamic progress, collaborators are asked to join in into an autopoietic system, which is more independent of its specific components and depends more on it's interrelations. Thus over time the components and even certain structures of collaboration might and will vary, but it's organization's identity will remain.
