Funded Activity Summary

Designing and Evaluating Biodiversity Conservation Policies for the Future. Biodiversity loss is a concern worldwide, especially in Australia with one of the world's 25 biodiversity "hot spots". Poor translation of ecology into policy and an absence of policy design principles are significantly impeding our ability to arrest these losses. This project aims to translate current developments in ecological theory into information useful for policy makers, develop and apply an evaluation framework to current biodiversity policies using this new information, and develop policy design principles based on this evaluation. The project's expected outcomes - a clear translation of ecological theory for policy makers, and evaluation criteria and design principles for biodiversity policies - will contribute to conserving biodiversity.
