Features of anEvidence-Based Framework

demands explicit user-generatedquestion (including subject, intervention and

desired outcome)

systematic review and evaluation ofevidence (methodology ensuring standards of

rigour, incl. peer review)

push delivery of information to pointof need (active dissemination tailored to enduser)

The Challenge

Can we construct somethingsimilar for environmentalmanagement?


10/17

Centre for Evidence-Based

ConservationThe Centre for Evidence-Based Conservation was established in 2003

with the goal of supporting decision making in conservation and

environmental management through the production and dissemination

of systematic reviews on the effectiveness of management and policy

interventions. With support from a wide range of organisations in the

environmental and academic sectors the CEBC now acts as both a

source of evidence and co-ordinator of a fast-growing collaborative

network undertaking systematic reviews. This website acts as the

primary gateway to reliable information on effectiveness based on the

best available scientific evidence.

Methodological development:Stages of a systematic review

Formulating a question (stakeholderengagement)

Generating a protocol (peer reviewed)

Systematic searching

Data selection

Data quality assessment (critical appraisal)

Data extraction Synthesis of data (meta-analysis)

Implications

Does the use of in-stream structures and

woody debris increase the abundance of

salmonids?


13/17

In-stream devices


14/17

Is evidence-based approach cost effective?

Using future discounting about 1 in 10,000 reviews

have to be this effective for it to be worthwhile

Annual spend about $40million in England & Wales.

At least 10x this figure worldwide

Assume 10% uptake of knowledge

Each review cost c $100,000

Thus about 1 in 400 reviews need to

have this outcome for the process to be

cost effective


15/17

Next Steps

Development of independent organisation topromote systematic review methodology andco-ordinate Cochrane-style collaboration

Collaboration for Environmental Evidence

Development of web-based library of reviews

environmentalevidence.org


16/17

Realising the potential of data

Significant benefits in synthesisingdata on issues of concern to

environmental practice and policy the concept of leverage

Funding bodies should encourageReview Groups to form and undertakesystematic reviews
