The CAP Handbook is intended as a guidance resource to support the implementation of The Nature Conservancy's Conservation Action Planning(CAP) Process - a powerful instrument for helping practitioners get to effective conservation results. The CAP process is a key analytical method thatsupports Conservation by Design, the Conservancy's strategic framework for mission success.This document was prepared by the CAP Handbook Team and reviewed by field practitioners. The CAP Handbook Team is: Jeff Baumgartner,Rebecca Esselman, Dan Salzer, and Jora Young of TNC's Global Conservation Approach Team and Nick Salafsky of Foundations of Success. DavidBraun of TNC's Eastern New York Chapter co-authored Step 3: Assess Viability of Focal Conservation Targets. Much of this material was based onearlier work by Conservancy staff (including especially work by Greg Low) as well as materials developed by Foundations of Success, WWF, and theConservation Measures Partnership.This document benefited greatly from comment by our external review team including; Indra Candanedo, Terry Cook, Tina Hall, John Heaston, TrinaLeberer, Greg Low, Oscar Maldonado, Cheryl Mall, Maria Elena Molina, Audrey Newman, Jeff Parrish, George Schuler , Terry Schulz and LoringSchwartz.This is a living document that will adapt and change as new information becomes available and as we hear from you about how to improve it. Themost recent version will always be available at: http://conserveonline.org/workspaces/cbdgateway/cap/practicesWe welcome your feedback. Please address any comments tocapfeedback@tnc.org.For more information on Conservation Action Planning visit www.conservationgateway.org/cap.  Suggested citation: TNC, 2007.
