Evaluate & Assess

Calculate calibrated STAR scores

  • Use IBAT Calibrated STAR Tool to:
    o Confirm presence or absence of species [and consider adjusting AoH for species]
    o Assess the severity, timing and scope of threats that are present in the area of influence
  • As needed, conduct field work, leverage supplementary data sources, such as national red lists and existing surveys, and engage with stakeholders

Assess and evaluate Calibrated STAR scores

  • Evaluate the most important threats by reviewing the Calibrated STAR results
  • Assess whether the most important threats identified are within your sphere of influence and consider whether you can work with other stakeholders on threats beyond your direct sphere of influence.
  • Assess risk and opportunities to the company caused by their involvement with biodiversity impact drivers, and assess opportunities to mitigate these risks.
  • Socialise your calibrated STAR results with stakeholders, seek their input and validation of the results and consider how you can work with together on co-ordinated action plans to tackle the threats identified.
  • Identify synergies with existing conservation actions in the landscape.

Update calibrated results

  • As needed, recalculate the calibrated STAR score using information gathered throughout this stage
