Table 5. Social branch indicators selected through the participatory approach to develop the holistic ecosystem health indicator for the Diablo Trust collaborative organization. The maximum points allocated are the estimated weighted points assigned to each category and eighteen indicators out of the total 1000 points. Each indicator may provide information related to the process, outcome, or context of the collaborative organization. The relevance of the indicators to the management goals was classified according to the Diablo Trust three-part holistic goal (Table 2).
