SUMMARY:Evaluating Biodiversity Conservation  Planning Policies
DESCRIPTION:Synopsis: When prioritising areas of land and sea for protectio
 n\, conservation planners must consider a wide range of biological\, econo
 mic and socio-political factors if a plan is to be effective. Systematic c
 onservation planning has gained popularity with policy makers worldwide\, 
 as a planning framework designed to provide transparency in value-laden de
 cision making. However\, literature on the evaluation of systematic conser
 vation plans is scarce\, making it difficult to advise when and where they
  can be implemented most effectively.\n By employing innovative evidence 
 synthesis methods\, I conducted a comprehensive review of the academic and
  grey literature on systematic conservation planning. Despite screening ov
 er 10\,000 articles\, I identified only three high-quality impact evaluati
 ons. I also interviewed senior decision makers involved in marine and fore
 stry planning case studies in Australia to understand the outcomes of land
 mark policies. My findings highlight barriers to the evaluation of complex
  planning interventions\, and how to promote impact evaluation in conserva
 tion.\nBio:  Emma is concluding a Visiting Scholarship at CEP\, having re
 cently submitted her PhD at the School of Geography and the Environment\, 
 University of Oxford. She is also Coordinator of the Great British Oceans 
 coalition\, a partnership of six leading conservation organisations workin
 g to promote marine protection.
