Public agencies must follow specific rules and processes when reaching decisions or setting policy. Nonprofit conservation organizations often work with public agencies to help facilitate stakeholder involvement and gain agreement on solutions that can benefit people and biodiversity.

CBO researchers study the impact of various approaches to decision-making and stakeholder involvement on biodiversity issues, and contribute scientific expertise and relevant research to the stakeholder process.

Actionable science, boundary organizing and co-production of biodiversity outcomes

Our goal through this project is to gain a better understanding of the determinants of actionable science in conservation. While there has been exponential growth in conservation research, much of this science fails to be translated into practice and policy. Numerous solutions have been proposed to bridge this knowledge-action gap, yet it persists.
