Conservation Value Institute is honored to advance its mission through Dr. Jonathan Gelbard’s appointment as an Associate Editor for Frontiers in Conservation Science (Social Science section).

 

Our inaugural Research Topic, How to Make Conservation Stick: What's the Difference That Makes the Difference?, explores one of conservation’s most important questions: Why do some evidence-based conservation solutions gain widespread support while others struggle to take hold?

 

Bringing together researchers and practitioners from diverse disciplines, this special issue will synthesize the latest science on communication, behavior change, decision-making, governance, partnerships, and other factors that influence the adoption of conservation and climate solutions.

 

Our goal extends beyond academic publication. Following each Research Topic, Conservation Value Institute will develop practitioner-focused briefs, tools, and decision-support resources that help conservation organizations, land managers, businesses, policymakers, and community leaders apply the findings in real-world settings.

 

By bridging research and practice, the How to Make Conservation Stick initiative aims to strengthen the effectiveness of conservation efforts by helping more proven solutions earn the understanding, support, and sustained adoption they need to succeed.
