Adaptive management is an approach to managing and learning from natural resources and ecosystems that involves systematically testing hypotheses about how best to manage a system, monitoring the outcomes of management actions, and adjusting future management actions based on what is learned. This approach emphasizes the importance of learning from experience, flexibility, and the ability to adjust management strategies as new information becomes available. Adaptive management is used in a variety of fields, including environmental conservation, natural resource management, and ecosystem restoration.
