Review & Renew

Self-strengthening is an ongoing process of both learning and action. Territories of life are dynamic – as are the custodian communities that care for them and the broader contexts in which they exist. Changing landscapes and circumstances can bring new opportunities and challenges over time. In light of that, rather than a one-off exercise, the process described in this guidance can be viewed as a set of approaches and commitments that enable ongoing learning and growth.

The nature and processes of this ongoing learning are determined by your custodian community. Appropriate monitoring, or periodic review, can enable reflection on the ‘health’ of your territory of life and renew your community’s efforts to care for and strengthen it.
