SDC Seminar: Defining and Using Evidence in Conservation Practice

This is the Science and Decisions Center Seminar Series presentation of Defining and Using Evidence in Conservation Practice with Nick Salafsky, Director, Foundations of Success. Nick focuses on sharing new work on the development of shared evidence libraries based around theory-of-change pathways for key conservation actions. Nick draws on insights of evidence-based practice from different disciplines to define evidence as being “the relevant information used to assess one or more hypotheses related to a question of interest" Nick concludes his presentation with a discussion of how to better promote and enable evidence-based conservation in both projects and across the discipline of conservation.
