Conservation stakeholder network mapping, analysis, and weaving (2011, background): “Empowerment of stakeholders has been suggested as a way of improving collaborative resource management (Ernstson et al. 2008) and conservation implementation (Knight et al. 2006); we observed that many of the network participants involved in new projects they designed found it empowering.”
Core concepts of spatial prioritisation in systematic conservation planning (2012, methodology): “SCP focuses on delivering actions that achieve conservation goals, which involves a significant socio-political component (e.g. Knight et al., 2006a, 2010; Margules & Sarkar, 2007).”
Pollination services in the UK: how important are honeybees? (2011, background): “Unfortunately, primary conservation research seldom translates into effective policy as political actors often fail to act on an effective time scale (Knight et al , 2006) or to the required extent (Wu et al , 2003).”
Methods and workflow for spatial conservation prioritization using Zonation (2013, methodology): “Spatial priority maps generated using a tool such as Zonationwould typically be only one component influencing conservation resource allocation and action, and inputs from experts and stakeholders would influence the ultimate decisions (Knight et al., 2006; Ferrier and Wintle, 2009).”
An operational model for mainstreaming ecosystem services for implementation (2008, background): “Although research-forimplementation models exist for integrated natural resource management (7) and conservation planning (5), we know of no article that spells out pragmatically and comprehensively the process for achieving the safeguarding of ecosystem services on the ground.”
Prospects for tropical forest biodiversity in a human-modified world. (2009, background): “Working with social and political scientists and agronomists is crucial for understanding both current and future patterns of land use, and which proposed interventions are most likely to be effective when implemented in human-modified landscapes (Knight et al. 2006).”
Diminishing return on investment for biodiversity data in conservation planning (2008, background): “First, it is unlikely that implementation would be possible in all the areas selected due to factors such as unwilling stakeholders and our planning units did not delineate realistic selection units, such as cadastres (Knight et al. 2006b).”
Synthesis of pattern and process in biodiversity conservation assessment: a flexible whole‐landscape modelling framework (2010, background): “…systematic conservation planning (Margules & Pressey, 2000) – a paradigm that we here refer to as ‘systematic conservation assessment’ (sensu Knight et al., 2006) to emphasize our specific focus in this article on the assessment component, rather than the broader sociopolitical…”
Knowing But Not Doing: Selecting Priority Conservation Areas and the Research–Implementation Gap (2008, background): “Rather than doing conservation, researchers appear preoccupied with describing the lack of representativeness of existing protected-area networks, experimentally testing data, and improving the efficiency of area selection algorithms in theory (Rodrigues et al. 2000; Knight et al. 2006a).”
