Overall, much greater attention is being paid to these methods also in academic circles, and the number of impact evaluation studies covering all fields continues to rise (Sabet and Brown, 2018). Government policy-makers and practitioners interested in ensuring that actions and finance invested is achieving real impact on the ground could therefore also enable academics to undertake such rigorous studies if relevant data is collected. Fostering stronger collaboration in the science-policy interface (i.e. betw'een academia and government) may also help to move from an ad-hoc emergence of biodiversity-relevant impact evaluation and cost-effectiveness analysis studies, to a more strategic one.
