How can we train the next generation of conservation practitioners and managers to be critical thinkers with a deep understanding of how to make evidence‐based decisions?
To address this question, the authors have created open access online teaching materials in multiple languages, stored in Applied Ecology Resources. So far, 117 educators from 23 countries have acknowledged the importance of this and are already teaching or about to teach skills in appraising or using evidence in conservation decision‐making. This includes 145 undergraduate, postgraduate or professional development courses.
The authors call for wider teaching of the tools and skills that facilitate evidence‐based conservation and also suggest that providing online teaching materials in multiple languages could be beneficial for improving global understanding of other subject areas.
