Technical Review Panel
PV Nature
All applications should be submitted to biodiversity@planvivofoundation.org
The role
For more than 25 years Plan Vivo has certified community-led projects that protect and restore crucial ecosystems and strengthen local livelihoods. Our role is to ensure these projects are of the highest quality - and are recognised, valued, and fairly compensated for the impact they deliver.
The Technical Review Panel (TRP) is a body of technical experts who help to ensure that projects submitted under our biodiversity Standard (PV Nature) adhere to the requirements.
Engagement in the panel is non-committal and work is ad hoc. Experts will be invited to take part in reviews that are relevant to their specific area(s) of expertise.
Experts joining the PV Nature TRP will help assess biodiversity projects and their associated project interventions, ensuring they meet best practice and are well placed to deliver the best possible outcomes for nature and people in their respective ecoregions.
Reviews conducted by the TRP will assess the suitability of the project in line with the PV Nature standard requirements and the PV Nature Methodology. By joining the TRP, you will help to accelerate flows of responsible finance into conservation and restoration projects certified under PV Nature, delivering evidence-based outcomes to biodiversity and communities.
We are looking for experts with experience and knowledge in a wide range of ecology and conservation specialisations, including:
- Significant technical expertise in biodiversity conservation, restoration and/or ecology, and specialist knowledge of a particular biome, ecosystem, taxonomic group or set of conservation/restoration interventions.
- Expert knowledge of the geographic region, ecoregion or landscape of the project area.
- Ability to review project intervention(s) applied by the given project.
- Practical experience in biodiversity conservation and/or restoration project delivery.
If you are interested in joining the PV Nature TRP you can request to join by:
- Completing the application form
- Submitting your CV plus a one page summary of your relevant experience in relation to the requirements in Section 3 of the TRP Terms of Reference to biodiversity@planvivofoundation.org
Those accepted to the TRP will receive information about the next available induction presentation.
