NEW PAPER: National level #evaluation of #community -based #marine #management initiative shows improvements in mechanisms to deliver conservation benefits, but these are translating into few of the desired positive social and ecological #outcomes . #conservation #idoimpact (1/5)
#TuesdaysWithTeamcounterfactual is back on 2 May (10am ET / 4pm CET) w/Luke Sanford and 'Machine Learning for Impact Evaluation: Environmental effects of land tenure formalization' Not yet among >1000 people registered for the #teamcounterfactual series? Go to: tinyurl.com/mkx3e6f6
Look at all these fantastic people who are thinking about and implementing #conservation impact evaluation and conservation evidence! #teamcounterfactual #ICCB2023 Conservation Evidence
In environmental science, what if the factors driving the errors in our remotely sensed data are also correlated with the policy interventions or other causal variables we are studying? Find out next week at the #TuesdaysWithTeamCounterfactual seminar!
Great talk at #iccb2023 by Anthony Dancer of ZSL Science , despite best-laid plans, #conservation implementation is messy, evaluating this can support learning; case study of SMART software #IdoImpact
Blog post about our new paper: Shock-proofing conservation: are community forests in #Madagascar resilient to a political crisis and its aftermath? communities.springernature.com/posts/shock-pr…

It is undeniable that there is an explosion of interest in causal methods across conservation science right now: for example watch the unmissable #TuesdaysWithTeamCounterfactal seminars and follow #teamcounterfactual. (6/?)

For researchers doing pixel-level analyses of anti-deforestation programs (eg #REDD ), this study highlights potential concerns about sign & magnitudes of your estimated effects (your standard errors are likely wrong too, but that's a diff't post). 1 lesson: aggregate! #teamcounterfactual
Paul J. Ferraro exclaiming over the thousands of uncontrolled experiments being run every day and all the missed opportunities for learning #teamcounterfactual #ICCB2023
Great points from SCB Social Science Working Group's mentoring program guide.
It applies also to our Conservation Impact Evaluation mentors!
Please encourage all IE researchers to enroll in our #teamcounterfactual mentoring program!

#TuesdaysWithTeamCounterfactual series is back with a topic ripped from the (Guardian's) headlines: quantifying additionality in carbon credit markets! Join us by registering at link in thread ⬇️
Great work bring presented by Ranaivo Rasolofoson from Duke Marine Lab with #teamcounterfactual at @ICCB2023
Loved finally getting to hear @EdwinPynegar talk about his inspiring work on conservation RCTs.
“Difficult design choices associated with both experiment & intervention”
“Compromise needed between researchers & implementer organisations”
