What ressources are needed?
Leadership
Anyone can lead on conducting the Ecomapping exercise though it is best if the tool has the support of the entire organisation, including management so that changes can be implemented and risks addressed.
Proficiencies or skills
The tool is very simple to use, though an ability to draw a relatively simple map from which to work will be beneficial. An existing site map or blueprint could also be used. Knowledge of the site under review will help to facilitate the process.
Staff time
The organisation that developed Eco-mapping suggests that less than one hour of work for each map will be required. Approximately two days per year will be sufficient time to implement the tool on the recommended yearly basis.
