ARC
MANAGEMENT
We have developed a management strategy to build the ARC
into a globally representative and democratic organisation that is a leader in its field in
innovation. Basing the ARC in a highly biodiverse developing country is part of this
strategy.
Bioregionalised lateral networking will assure that all ARC
Regional Nodes have equal managerial representation, and we will preferentially support ARC
Regional Nodes that protect the highest amphibian and reptile
biodiversity.
In 2011 the Internet based
Amphibian and Reptile Conservation journal was
established. In September 2013 the informal partnership managing the
ARC led by Dr,
Robert Browne was dissolved. more
In
the spirit of the ARC, Robert with a global
team are building an inclusive, transparent, and globally
representative and democratic organisation. We are developing a management strategy that
includes ownership of the ARC being be distributed among members of
ARC Regional Chapters.
