One of the basic purposes of protected areas and other effective area-based conservation
interventions is to achieve conservation impact, the sum of avoided biodiversity loss and …

Demand-side policies for mitigating climate change based on behavioral insights are
gaining increased attention in research and practice. Here we describe a systematic map …

Conservation initiatives overwhelmingly focus on terrestrial biodiversity, and little is known
about the freshwater cobenefits of terrestrial conservation actions. We sampled more than …

A widely recognized challenge in natural resource management and conservation is the gap
between the knowledge generated by researchers and the information being used to inform …

The effectiveness of many widely used conservation interventions is poorly understood
because of a lack of high-quality impact evaluations. Randomized control trials (RCTs), in …

Expanding and managing current habitat and species protection measures is at the heart of
the European biodiversity strategy. A structured approach is needed to gain insights into …

Habitat restoration is a cornerstone of conservation, particularly for habitat‐limited species.
However, restoration efforts are seldom rigorously monitored at meaningful spatial scales …

Abstract Protected Areas (PAs) are core components of conservation strategies, but the
networks they form are rarely assessed for their effectiveness over time. We tested different …

Systematic evidence map** offers a robust and transparent methodology for facilitating
evidence-based approaches to decision-making in chemicals policy and wider …

Abstract Systematic Conservation Planning (SCP) is a spatially explicit process used
globally to prioritize conservation actions, but its effectiveness is difficult to quantify. In South …
