Rangers share traditional ecological knowledge and have provided both time and effort to assist with ecological monitoring and research. 4.3 Measuring the change Modelling indicators of change At the commencement of this project, there had been some data collected on the activities and outputs of the Minyumai IPA, with particular reference to environmental outcomes. However, there had been little data collected over time to indicate the changes experienced by stakeholders and the quantities of stakeholders experiencing those changes. Having identified the material changes experienced by stakeholder groups, we worked with MLHAC management and used payroll data to calculate (for the investment period): Number of people falling within each stakeholder Number of funding and economic opportunities available since the IPA declaration Average number of days carrying out burns using cultural practices in a year Number of hectares within the IPA where land management is low cost Number of NGO partners and Research partners of the IPA Degree of Government, NGO partner and Research partner outcomes achieved as a result of the IPA (on a of Low to Very High) As the groups of Rangers and Community Members were large, and their experiences varied, it was not possible to count individuals for whom outcomes had, or had not occurred. Instead we used basic threshold assumptions around the level of engagement required to experience the material outcomes. The thresholds used with respect to Ranger and Community member outcomes are included in Table 4.9 below.
