Conservation Evidence Journal (Subtitle: Publishes research, monitoring results and case studies on the effects of conservation interventions. ) Is an applied conservation journal published online in the UK .
The journal publishes peer-reviewed articles on animal and habitat management issues. In addition, topics such as resettlement, renaturation, invasive species and educational and development programs in nature conservation play a role. The journal expressly does not publish any articles on pure animal ecology or the threat to biodiversity that are based on pure monitoring data.
A special feature is that only articles are accepted that represent a completed (i.e. not a proposed or modeled) nature conservation process. The articles document specific nature conservation measures with their successes and failures. The aim is to pass on experience for successful nature conservation. Most of the articles move on a local scale and thus do not follow the trend towards a global approach to environmental problems.
Conservation Evidence was initiated and published by English conservation biologist William J. Sutherland . The journal is an open access journal to make the results of research available to nature conservation practitioners. In the editorial team (2012): Malcolm Ausden ( RSPB ), Trevor JC Beebee (School of Life Sciences, University of Sussex), David Bullock (National Trust GB), Mike Daniels (Land & Science, John Muir Trust), James Deutsch ( Wildlife Conservation Society ), Lynn Dicks (Department of Zoology, University of Cambridge ), Tony Whitten ( Fauna and Flora International ) and Richard Griffiths (Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology (DICE) at the University of Kent ).
