An assessment of the priority areas for UK nature conservation policy and their associated research needs

目标是以协作的方式与决策者、政策制定者和研究人员合作，以确定需要新政策或现有政策未取得所需成果的领域。我们将共同公布分析结果。其中一些差距是由于需要制定新的政策，而另一些则是由于知识方面的差距。我们预计，这项工作将在确定需要新政策的领域和需要更多科学来填补知识空白的领域方面产生影响。这将与英国鸟类学信托基金会主任安迪·克莱门茨博士共同运作。

The objective is to work in a collaborative manner with policy makers, policy formers and researchers to identify those areas where new policies are needed or where existing policies are not achieving the required results. We will collectively publish the results of the analysis. Some of these gaps will be as a result of the need for new policies while others will be a result of gaps in knowledge. We expect that this work will be influential in identifying areas where new policies are required and areas where there are gaps in knowledge that need to be filled by additional Science. This will be run jointly with Dr Andy Clements, Director of the British Trust for Ornithology.
