Conservation Science & Advocacy for a Planet in Peril: Speaking Truth to Power

Conservation Science and Advocacy: 2020 and Beyond equips scientists working on practical solutions to environmental and sustainability challenges. Global efforts and cooperation by member states of environmental conventions have steadily increased but lack efficient and scalable mechanisms of translating conservation science to policy. The gap between science and policy is growing when it comes to the environment, even more so in developing countries where biodiversity is richest and under major threat. There is a need to more fully identify successes, failures and scalable lessons in this rapidly growing need for fundamental conservation science and policy integration globally. Conservation Science and Advocacy: 2020 and Beyond is a must read for environmental and conservation scientists and students, social scientists, economic professionals, sustainable businesses, and policy makers. An unprecedented collection of cases on regional, national and local scales globally from scientists and practitioners across conservation science and policyCovers successes bringing science into policy making, providing usable guidelines for those working to bridge this gapProvides the requisite information to help translate environmental and conservation science into policy by sharing lessons learned and capacity in policy engagements from closing conservation or management recommendation sections in journals to a comprehensive work INDICE: SECTION 1: SCIENTISTS AS ADVOCATES: ADVOCACY SHOULD NOT BE A FOUR-LETTER WORD 1.
