dc.description.abstract | Making the reasoning and evidence behind conservation management decisions
clear and transparent is a key challenge for the conservation community.
Similarly, combining evidence from diverse sources (e.g., scientific and local
knowledge) into decision-making is also difficult. Our group of conservation
researchers and practitioners has co-produced an intuitive tool and template
(Evidence-to-Decision [E2D] tool: www.evidence2decisiontool.com) to guide
practitioners through a structured process to transparently document and
report the evidence and reasoning behind decisions. The tool has three major
steps: (1). Define the Decision Context; (2). Gather Evidence; and (3). Make an
Evidence-Based Decision. In each step, practitioners enter information (e.g.,
from the scientific literature, practitioner knowledge and experience, and
costs) to inform their decision-making and document their reasoning. The tool
packages this information into a customized downloadable report (or is documented
if using the offline template), which we hope can stimulate the
exchange of information on decisions within and between organizations. By
enabling practitioners to revisit how and why past decisions were made, and
integrate diverse forms of evidence, we believe our open-access tool's template
can help increase the transparency and quality of decision-making in
conservation. | en_US |
