Best practice mechanisms for biodiversity conservation law and policy by Callum Brockett, Katie Woolaston, Felicity Deane, Fran Humphries, Ethan Kumar, Amanda Kennedy, Justine Bell-James

“…The literature demonstrated that when it comes to biodiversity conservation law, the concept of ‘best practice’ is elusive, and does not necessarily equate to a reversal in species decline. Further, most western countries utilise the same legal mechanisms (also known as policy tools) for biodiversity conservation, although some countries implement these laws more effectively than others. …”
