• Integrating research using animal‐borne telemetry with the needs of conservation management (2017, background): “To know this, quantifiable objectives must first be established so that actions can be evaluated based on their ability to improve the overall benefit of the conservation intervention (Tear et al. 2005).”
• Protecting Forest Areas for Biodiversity in Sweden 1991-2010 : the Policy Implementation Process and Outcomes on the Ground (2011, background): “Tear et al. (2005) proposed five principles for setting conservation objectives: 1) state clear goals, 2) define measurable objectives, 3) separate science-based knowledge from the feasibility to apply it, 4) follow scientific method and 5) anticipate change.”
