Is INFFER consistent with the concept of environmental triage?
Yes. The idea with environmental triage is to split up the potential investments into three groups: (a) those where the assets are in such good condition and facing so little threat that they don’t really need investment, (b) those where investment can make a worthwhile difference, and (c) those where the assets are so damaged or protecting them is so intractable that it is not worth investing. This is highly consistent with what INFFER does. It effectively helps you allocate any particular project to one of these three groups. Further, it helps you judge which of the projects in group (b) should be the highest priority, and what form the intervention should take.
