Names and classification
- Record type
- intervention
Kauaʻi occurrence and status
- Recorded state

Conservation interventions
- Action definition
- Detect change, evaluate intervention performance and trigger reassessment
- Mechanism of action

- Prerequisites
- Stable funding; methods; data stewardship; versioning; accountable decision owners
- Implementation context
- All conservation modules and management areas
- Expected outcomes
- Faster detection of failure/success and evidence-based management adjustment
