Resumo:
Biodiversity monitoring systems, especially within protected areas, support the decision making process for conservation. In developing countries, where financial resources destined to monitoring programs are not abundant, participatory monitoring programs have emerged. Nevertheless, there is very little available information regarding the financial execution and cost structure of participatory biodiversity monitoring programs, which limits the possibility of strategy proposals to improve the programs’ performance. Therefore, the present study contributes to narrow this gap by providing a financial analysis of ProBUC in order to contribute with the program’s financial sustainability. It was observed that, within ProBUC’s macro processes, the phase that concentrates most costs (33%) is the “maintenance” phase. At the same time, the “results analysis” phase represents only 4% of the total costs. In order to optimize the use of resources of the most expensive phase, it is suggested that ProBUC automates the data collection and decentralizes the monitoring maintenance. The combination of automation and decentralization as a single strategic action has 80% probability of reducing ProBUC´s costs. In an average scenario, this strategy can reduce up to 7% of the total macro process costs. In order to increase the investments destined to the program´s data management, it is suggested that ProBUC implements a web based system to manage its database. This should begin as a short term investment that has a cost of approximately R$77.600, part of which can be financed by the saved costs obtained after the implementation of the automation and decentralization.
