Conservation science as a discipline spends a lot of effort describing threats. While this is important, relatively little attention is paid to rigorously testing conservation interventions. Conservation Evidence is one project working to collate the evidence for how well conservation interventions actually work. This is an ongoing project which attempts to keep evidence synthesis ‘live’ and updated, and to facilitate use by a diverse community of people. However we run into problems in collating, interpreting, and encouraging people to use the science due to i) a scarcity of studies for many interventions, ii) poor methodological design hampering interpretation, iii) a poor understanding of how generalizable conservation interventions are, partly due to i and ii, and iv) a reluctance or lack of confidence in using evidence from some quarters.
I will describe our theory of change for improving evidence availability and increasing use. I will describe some of the work we are doing as a group to map evidence gaps, to assess the benefits and drawbacks of different study designs for testing interventions, to assist conservation practitioners in properly evaluating the impact of their actions, and to encourage evidence use among NGOs, ecological consultants and governments.

Biodiversity threats embodied in global trade: Moving beyond species richness loss
Chaudhary, Abhishek (Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The limited success of traditional conservation practices such as expanding protected areas signals a need for new, integrated approaches to halt biodiversity declines. In particular, biodiversity-benign production methods ... -
Assessing the status, threats and future conservation action for the critically endangered Chinese alligator in Southern Anhui Province, China
Rio, Jonathan; Turvey, Samuel (Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Chinese ecosystems are facing intense biodiversity loss. Pressure on ecosystems is particularly severe in the Yangtze basin, a 220,000 km2 area supporting 300 million people in eastern China. The Chinese alligator (Alligator ... -
