Speaking at CCI workshop on conservation evidence

Talk at CCI Effectiveness Revolution workshop on conservation copilots and embedding evidence into conservation decision-making.

Bill Sutherland organised a workshop at the CCI on how to bring about an Effectiveness Revolution for transforming conservation into an evidence-driven discipline.

The aim was to discuss the "Evidence Emergency" (The Wildlife Trusts' term), the urgent need to embed evidence into decision-making and to create additional evidence to fill the considerable gaps in the evidence base, to improve conservation practice.

I gave a talk about our early results with the conservation copilots work.
