The gap between science and policy is growing when it comes to the environment, even more so in developing countries where biodiversity is richest and under major threat. There is a need to more fully identify successes, failures and scalable lessons in this rapidly growing need for fundamental conservation science and policy integration globally. Conservation Science and Advocacy: 2020 and Beyond is a must read for environmental and conservation scientists and students, social scientists, economic professionals, sustainable businesses, and policy makers. An unprecedented collection of cases on regional, national and local scales globally from scientists and practitioners across conservation science and policyCovers successes bringing science into policy making, providing usable guidelines for those working to bridge this gapProvides the requisite information to help translate environmental and conservation science into policy by sharing lessons learned and capacity in policy engagements from closing conservation or management recommendation sections in journals to a comprehensive work
