How to ensure threatened species monitoring leads to threatened species conservation [PDF]

Ecological Management & Restoration, 2018
SummaryMonitoring is essential for effective conservation and management of threatened species and ecological communities. However, more often than not, threatened species monitoring is poorly implemented, meaning that conservation decisions are not informed by the best available knowledge. We outline challenges and provide best‐practice guidelines for
