“What Works in Conservation” is a free online practical guide to ecological decision making. An initiative by the ‘Conservation Evidence’ project of the University of Cambridge (UK), this free online book draws upon an opensource database of over 7800 scientific articles, reports and reviews focused on the outcomes of various conservation decisions and the lessons learnt therefrom.

Aimed at everyone from farmers to policy makers, “What Works in Conservation” provides an evidence-based summary of various conservation interventions and whether such interventions have been successful or efficient in achieving the desired outcomes from multiple case studies around the world.

Despite taking a very comprehensive approach, this book provides a rapid overview and key messages to consider for particular interventions, making the most important information digestible and accessible to any conservation decision maker.

The MIMMP is proud to be represented in this initiative with Prof. Nico de Bruyn being part of a panel of expert reviewers to assess the efficacy of various interventions to “Marine and Freshwater Mammal Conservation” (Chapter 14).
