Effectiveness in conservation practice: Pointers from medicine and public health
Article Abstract:
A practical framework, developed for the practice of medicine and public health, for encouraging the use of evidence-based conservation action is presented. It is suggested that government money should not be provided for carrying out biodiversity action that has no scientific basis unless appropriate trials and monitoring are built in to the system. The principle of evidence-based action should be established as a benchmark of professionalism in conservation practice just as it is in medicinal profession.
