How to use evidence to improve biodiversity impact mitigation
Join the Conservation Evidence Team at the University of Cambridge, for our webinar to find out how evidence-based biodiversity mitigation actions can improve the performance of your company or organization. We’ll take you through an introduction to evidence-based decision making, examples of how it can improve practice, and outline the resources we have developed that can help quickly and effectively improve the outcomes of your actions for nature.
Biodiversity loss is now recognized as a key risk to the private sector. Mitigation actions can be extremely costly and sometimes ineffective - wasting money and leading to poor outcomes for nature. Understanding how to use the best available evidence can improve the effectiveness and cost-efficiency of these measures.

spread this message far and wide! this is great.
15:03 I don’t think the word “sustainable” is a jargon. If this word is accounted a jargon, the presenter should recommend an appropriate word for “sustainable.”
So happy to see this explanation of why "So-Called" educated people may be speaking or using a simpler language than you would expect them to be speaking or using. I am a Learning Disability Teacher and have been looked down upon for using simple language to communicate. I didn't take my time to educate these people why you would need to express yourself in simple terms while teaching even at the high school level.
What does "intended" mean?
Dr. Dicks sort of violates her own advice by using a passive participle ("intended") acting as an adjective to modify the noun "audience." "The intended audience" means "the audience you intend to reach."
Very useful thank you :)
Thanks for sharing. Very helpful.
