Research and evaluation are crucial components of evidence-based policy, decision-making and effective conservation management. As research consumes the same limited resources that could be used for conservation, it should provide as valuable and useful information as possible. This requires framing research questions to be relevant to both researchers and users of the information. A general problem is that researchers may be detached from conservation policy and practice, and thus do not recognize information needs. Furthermore, measuring and predicting effects of conservation is not an easy task. The spatial scale considered, and whether the costs and side effects are taken into account, may affect the conclusions. Effective conservation ...
