The study from England, the first of its kind, analyzed hundreds of papers on conservation’s impact and found strong evidence that conservation efforts can effectively reverse biodiversity declines or slow them significantly.
The research covered interventions like habitat protection, invasive species control, and sustainable management, showing that conservation actions often lead to positive outcomes for biodiversity. Despite some instances where conservation measures had negative impacts, overall, the study emphasizes the success of conservation efforts and advocates for increased funding to maximize their impact.
