Abstract

Evidence‐based conservation has made some major steps forward in the last two decades. However, the ‘landscape’ in which evidence is generated, funded and disseminated still has some elements that will need to be further developed if the UK's conservation sector is to achieve its collective nature recovery goals. This paper articulates a shared vision of the conservation evidence landscape in 2035. It was developed by representatives of 27 organisations involved in conservation and nature recovery across the UK. Solution: the authors identified a range of issues that will need to be addressed to allow the evidence base to support and guide nature recovery efforts. These will require action in four key areas: (1) evidence creation, (2) access to evidence, (3) evidence culture, and (4) enabling evidence‐based conservation.

N2 - Evidence‐based conservation has made some major steps forward in the last two decades. However, the ‘landscape’ in which evidence is generated, funded and disseminated still has some elements that will need to be further developed if the UK's conservation sector is to achieve its collective nature recovery goals. This paper articulates a shared vision of the conservation evidence landscape in 2035. It was developed by representatives of 27 organisations involved in conservation and nature recovery across the UK. Solution: the authors identified a range of issues that will need to be addressed to allow the evidence base to support and guide nature recovery efforts. These will require action in four key areas: (1) evidence creation, (2) access to evidence, (3) evidence culture, and (4) enabling evidence‐based conservation.
