Abstract | This chapter summarizes the central problems and potential solutions that emerged from this book to address the knowledge–implementation gap in conservation science. On the knowledge production side, more incentives and training for multi- and interdisciplinary research and increased co-production with stakeholders outside of academia are required to foster research aligned with needs of conservation practitioners, decision-makers, and local communities. Particularly in the Global South, capacity building supporting conservation efforts is warranted, with citizen science emerging as a discipline with huge potential to underpin these efforts. Bridging and boundary organizations connecting different stakeholders across scales and jurisdictions are important conduits for knowledge mobilization, although their maturity level varies across continents. Finally, knowledge implementation is highly context-dependent and at various development stages globally. Common denominators of effective knowledge implementation are the involvement of multi- and interdisciplinary teams, highly accessible and standardized biodiversity data, and the inclusion of local knowledge. This chapter also offers additional perspectives to resolve the gap that were not fully covered by the book. For example, understanding societal structures and human decision-making processes, and how they influence information flow within a community, has the potential to refine communication strategies and increase the number of people supporting long-term conservation action. |
