The monitoring period and reports can be as frequently as 1 year, and as infrequently as 5 years and must include: * Changes in [Baseline assessment](/baseline-assessment.md) if applicable * Adaptive changes in [Implementation plan](/project-description/implementation-plan.md) * Any changes in project boundaries (such as scaling from a [Grouped project](/project-description/project-boundaries/grouped-projects.md)) with .kml format * Any changes in Stakeholders, or project governance * Secure upload of raw project data for indicator species observations * Comparison report of Crediting area vs Leakage management area in hectares for current vs prior years of project implementation ([Project areas](/project-description/project-boundaries/spatial-limits-of-the-bcp.md#project-area-data-layer)) * Ideally publically-validated indicator species observations (i.e. iNaturalist) The BCP shall include, in the monitoring report, a short qualitative summary of the activities carried out during each verification period and their effectiveness in terms of biodiversity conservation. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://isbm.savimbo.com/monitoring-plan/monitoring-report.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
