Conservation Evidence is a free, authoritative information resource designed to support decisions about how to maintain and restore global biodiversity.
We summarise evidence from the scientific literature about the effects of conservation interventions such as methods of habitat or species management.

Publishes research, monitoring results and case studies on the effects of conservation interventions.
A synopsis of evidence lists all the possible actions you could take to conserve a given species group or habitat, or to tackle a particular conservation issue.
For each action, it brings together the available scientific evidence with summary statements that are quick and easy to read. It describes each piece of evidence with references, and links to more information on our website.
Each synopsis is developed in partnership with an international advisory board of conservationists and researchers who specialise in that area.
Our plan
Over the next five years, Conservation Evidence aims to produce synopses covering every major habitat and taxonomic group.
Each will be produced through thorough literature reviews and with an international panel of experts advising on the scope and structure of the synopsis, ensuring that they communicate the information that conservation practitioners need in the easiest and most useful way possible.
These synopses will be available individually, online (both as a downloadable PDF and as a searchable database) and in print, but will also be combined into a ‘Global Synopsis’ – an authoritative guide to conservation practice for any habitat and taxon, anywhere in the world.
Synopses bring together all the evidence for the effects of interventions for particular species groups, habitats or issues, and contain all the ‘Collected Evidence’ articles for that topic. An example of an intervention is connecting areas of natural or semi-natural habitat for the purpose of conserving bee populations. In other words, any direct action you would take to conserve.
‘Bee Conservation: Evidence for the effects of interventions’ is the first in a series of synopses that will eventually provide a comprehensive overview of the effectiveness of conservation interventions worldwide.
