Abstract

Close
- We outline a conceptual strategy for implementing conservation interventionsin a multiscale, multiactor, and multilevel governance world. Using farmlandas an example, we argue that conservation interventions should be implementedwithin a multiscale framework of guiding ecological principles. Inthis context, findings from multilevel governance research can inform a nuancedunderstanding of the role of evidence in conservation governance anddecision-making. We propose that principles of evidence-based conservationcan be used to refine guiding ecological principles across scales, thereby creatinga comprehensive evidence base that underpins decision-making. Thisevolving evidence base, in turn, should be operationalized by considering thefit of ecologically relevant scales to governance levels, paying explicit attentionto issues such as democratic legitimacy and interplay with existing governancestructures. We outline two specific steps for meeting this challenge. Drawingon a strategic combination of conservation interventions, guiding ecologicalprinciples, and insights from multilevel governance research promises to improveboth the effectiveness and legitimacy of conservation action.
