By being clear as to the types and scales of knowledge needed, and the limitations of existing knowledge to inform policy, decision-makers will also play a role in highlighting knowledge gaps. We thus frame decision-makers as actively participating stakeholders in shaping what evidence base is needed for conservation, rather than framing conservation policy as something that must respond to the agenda of scientists who produce evidence. As a consequence, there is a strong need to develop practical solutions, based on a joint effort by researchers, decision-makers and land-use planners, on how to integrate evidence-based practices and general ecological principles within a multilevel governance framework. Through embedding locally implemented conservation interventions within a broader context, we are confident they would gain both in legitimacy and effectiveness.
Susan Thur on 21 Jun 10"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyuSYUGqUTQ" My video on Youtube about the oil spill 2010. Blood, Sweat & Tears in the Gulf-Oil Spill 2010 Oil spill photos set to music. Blood Music (Moody Blues - The Voyage) Sweat Music (The Business of America) Tears Music (Moody Blues - Melancholy Man) A Way of Life Music (Phil Collins - Look Through My Eyes) I selected music relevant to the photos. The video was done in 5 segments. One called Blood, one called Sweat, one called Tears and one called A Way of Life with a finale added to display website organizations to save the coast. I wanted to make a video that relayed what was happening here in the Southern United States--the huge price that was paid-the Blood, the hard work that will go on for a long time-the Sweat, the worry of lost lifestyle, culture and livelihood-the Tears and to give the viewer an idea about A Way of Life that is enjoyed and is special to us with the song (Look Through My Eyes)
