Very excited that Conservation Evidence is one of five major projects within the ai@cam. We will expand our current collaboration with the Computing Dept to develop novel means of using AI to present evidence to practitioners and decision makers (ai.cam.ac.uk/ai-deas/)

Excited to share that we, along with colleagues in the Department of Computer Science and Technology, have been awarded a grant to build new AI tools to help integrate evidence and data into conservation decision making - a really exciting challenge!

Happy to announce that the Student Conference in Conservation is back in March - helping to run this conference is always a highlight of our year. You can sign up to stream the talks below:

Counting very rare (in UK) Field wormwood Artemesia campestris with Breckland Floral Group. 16 plants introduced to this site in 1988. Count was 385 plants including 2 juveniles and 41 non-flowering plants. Was down to one site. Now at 7 sites. Science and conservation working!

Excited to be involved in this project with some great partners. Check out the link below to find out how you can get involved and influence the future of UK biodiversity #conservation #nature

New Blog! How we can improve biodiversity while planting trees to benefit climate? Nadine Keller, Postdoc in Nature-based Climate Solutions at NUS, has written about her research into forest restoration approaches in the Sabah rainforest, Borneo. tinyurl.com/53xys6bp

Last night Conservation Evidence and Bill Sutherland won a Cambridge University Public Engagement Vice Chancellors Award for Research Impact and Engagement!
Since 2004, we have engaged worldwide with over 1100 practitioners, policy makers, funders and academics to help transform conservation 🌳🦋

Hot off the press! 🔥

The updated Butterfly and Moth Synopsis is out now (tinyurl.com/ycxr2dsv). 🦋

The team scanned 1,186,661 potentially relevant papers and reports, narrowing them down to 385 publications which tested conservation actions for butterflies and moths.

When designing conservation projects, combining and assessing evidence from diverse sources can be challenging 📚🧠💭💾

We propose the BEAM model for laying out the evidence and assessing validity in key assumptions

Expertly led by Alec Christie and a great coauthor team

How did a meeting in 2004 lead to us co-designing our Evidence Toolkit with over 1,100 practitioners, policymakers, funders and other academics? And what IS the Evidence Toolkit?
