What are the best means of reducing illegal hunting of primates?
Does changing the type of livestock benefit heathland vegetation?
Does removing the upper layer of peat enhance peatland restoration?
Is flame treatment effective for dealing with invasive floating pennywort?
What Works in Conservation has been created to provide practitioners with answers to these and many other questions about practical conservation. This book provides an assessment of the effectiveness of 1277 conservation interventions based on summarized scientific evidence. The 2018 edition contains new chapters covering practical global conservation of primates, peatlands, shrublands and heathlands, management of captive animals as well as an extended chapter on control of freshwater invasive species. Other chapters cover the global conservation of amphibians, bats, birds and forests, conservation of European farmland biodiversity and some aspects of enhancing natural pest control, enhancing soil fertility and control of freshwater invasive species. It contains key results from the summarized evidence for each conservation intervention and an assessment of the effectiveness of each by international expert panels.

What Works in Conservation 2017 1st Table of contents:

Main Chapters (organized by topic or taxonomic group):

• Amphibian Conservation

  • Threat: Residential and commercial development (e.g., legal protection of species, protecting brownfield sites)
  • Threat: Agriculture (e.g., engaging farmers, terrestrial habitat management, aquatic habitat management)
  • Threat: Energy production and mining
  • Threat: Transportation and service corridors (e.g., closing roads, installing culverts)
  • Threat: Biological resource use (e.g., reducing impact of trade, sustainable use)
  • Threat: Human intrusions and disturbance
  • Threat: Natural system modifications (e.g., regulating water levels, prescribed fire)
  • Threat: Invasive and other problematic species (e.g., reducing predation, controlling invasive species)
  • Threat: Pollution (e.g., agricultural pollution, industrial pollution)
  • Threat: Climate change and severe weather (e.g., creating refuges, maintaining ephemeral ponds)
  • Habitat protection (e.g., retaining buffer zones)
  • Habitat restoration and creation (e.g., replanting vegetation, creating ponds)
  • Species management (e.g., captive breeding, translocation)
  • Education and awareness raising

• Bat Conservation (structured similarly with threats and interventions)

• Bird Conservation (structured similarly with threats and interventions)

• Farmland Conservation (structured similarly with general farming systems, arable farming, perennial crops, livestock farming, and threats/interventions)

• Forest Conservation (structured similarly with threats and interventions)

• Some Aspects of Control of Freshwater Invasive Species (structured by invasive plant, mollusc, crustacean, fish, reptile, and amphibian species, and general interventions)

• Some Aspects of Enhancing Natural Pest Control (structured by farming system type and interventions)

• Enhancing Soil Fertility (structured by farming system type and interventions)
