Abstract
Abstract
1. To be effective, the next generation of conservation practitioners andmanagers need
to be critical thinkers with a deep understanding of how to make evidence-based decisions
and of the value of evidence synthesis.
2. If, as educators, we do not make these priorities a core part of what we teach, we
are failing to prepare our students to make an effective contribution to conservation
practice.
3. To help overcome this problem we have created open access online teaching materials
in multiple languages that are stored in Applied Ecology Resources. So far, 117
educators from 23 countries have acknowledged the importance of this and are
already teaching or about to teach skills in appraising or using evidence in conservation
decision-making. This includes 145 undergraduate, postgraduate or professional
development courses.
4. We call for wider teaching of the tools and skills that facilitate evidence-based conservation
and also suggest that providing online teaching materials in multiple languages
could be beneficial for improving global understanding of other subject areas.
