Environment: using technology to improve human life

Miradi is a user-friendly software program that allows nature conservation practitioners to design, manage, monitor, and learn from their projects to more effectively meet their conservation goals. The program guides users through a series of step-by-step interview wizards based on the Open Standards for the Practice of Conservation used by major conservation organizations to plan and implement their work. Miradi is a Swahili word meaning “project” or “goal.”

"We desperately need information systems that have great agility and a low burden on participation to capture what conservation practitioners are doing in a rapid and user-friendly way," says Dan Salzer, a conservation ecologist who has worked with The Nature Conservancy for eighteen years researching, monitoring and measuring conservation success. "I am absolutely convinced that we can multiply the impact of conservation work three to five fold by using Miradi to capture, track and share conservation data. I think Miradi is going to transform the practice of conservation." - Dan Salzer, Conservation Ecologist, The Nature Conservancy

Miradi helps conservation teams design conceptual models of their project site, prioritize threats, and select monitoring indicators to assess the effectiveness of their strategies. Conservation practitioners can export Miradi project data to donor reports and to formats that can be shared with other Miradi users. Miradi 2.0 was the first public release of the software created as a joint venture between Benetech and the Conservation Measures Partnership (CMP) a consortium of global conservation organizations committed to improving the practice of conservation. The Miradi 1.0 beta version of the software was accessed by more than 600 conservation practitioners in 82 countries. For more information about Miradi, please visit www.miradi.org.
