Conservation Evidence is a free, authoritative resource that helps people make better decisions about conserving biodiversity. We summarise the effects of conservation actions so practitioners, policymakers and researchers can quickly see what works, what doesn’t, and where evidence is still limited.

• Make conservation decisions more transparent and effective by collating and sharing evidence on the outcomes of actions.
• Provide clear, accessible summaries that can be used in the field, in policy, and in planning.
• Highlight evidence gaps to guide future research and funding.

• Synopses of evidence
  Topic-by-topic summaries reviewing the effectiveness of actions for a species group, habitat or issue.
• What Works in Conservation
  Expert assessments that interpret the summarised evidence to indicate which actions are likely to be effective.
• Conservation Evidence Journal
  A free-to-publish, open-access, peer-reviewed journal reporting tests of conservation actions and their outcomes.

1. Summarise – We systematically gather and summarise studies that test conservation actions.
2. Assess – Independent experts review the summarised evidence to provide action-level guidance.
3. Share – All outputs are openly available and designed for real-world use.

• Practitioners & land managers seeking tested actions to implement.
• Policymakers & funders looking for transparent rationales for investment.
• Researchers & students identifying evidence gaps and priorities.

Conservation Evidence is collaborative and international. Authors, editors, advisors and partners contribute across many taxa, habitats and regions, helping ensure our resources are practical, up-to-date and globally relevant.

• Use the evidence to inform planning and management.
• Publish new tests of conservation actions in the Conservation Evidence Journal.
• Champion evidence-based practice in your organisation and networks.
• Share your feedback to help us improve our resources.
