'Conservation Research, Policy and Practice is an excellent handbook on how to conduct research in conservation and then translate it into an impactful outcome. It explores the complexity of horizon scanning and interacting with policy, while providing clear guidance on how to develop a Theory of Change. With an increasingly greater focus on evidence-informed policy and practice, researchers need concrete examples on how to generate and synthesise research findings, and then to communicate these findings to decision-makers; all while recognising that a degree of uncertainty is inherent to all policy-making. This book will aid anyone wishing for their research to have an impact, particularly in conservation but also any interdisciplinary pursuit.' Dr Grant Hill-Cawthorne, Head of the Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology
