Prioritizing future evidence needs for marine and freshwater mammal conservation action
Animal Conservation, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 542-552, August 2025.To improve conservation practice, decisions should be informed by the available evidence on the effectiveness of conservation actions. Here, we review the comprehensiveness of this evidence base for marine and freshwater mammals. We assess the taxonomic and geographic coverage of the evidence base, identify biases and suggest priorities for future ...
