I will end by making the case for a dose of optimism in conservation I will show evidence (from three impact evaluations published this year) that, despite the challenges, conservation in Madagascar is making a difference. Madagascar’s biodiversity is unique but under extraordinary pressure.

Drawing on a global analysis of the effectiveness of protected areas at protecting waterbirds, and a Randomized Control Trial of a payment for ecosystem services scheme in Bolivia I will explore how impact evaluation can improve the outcomes from conservation. However, and this might surprise those of you who don’t work in conservation, despite billions having been spent on conservation interventions over the last few decades, we know remarkably little about what works and what doesn’t. In response to this catastrophic loss of biodiversity, a wide range of conservation efforts are being implemented around the world. We are living through a nature emergency.
