Maximizing conservation evaluation utilization

---

Evaluation utilization in conservation management emphasizes the use of ‘appropriate’ information from the perspective of an expert provider. An alternative is to emphasize the information needs of recipients. Doing so ensures evaluation information is relevant to expected users and uses. The authors worked with an Australian conservation management agency to address barriers associated with engagement and ensuring relevance to the recipient’s sphere of decision-making. Workshop feedback demonstrated that the process increased the perceived value of the evaluation information. Managers’ reflections on the workshops emphasized factors relating to the decision-making context and the importance of being able to interact with the information in a constructive and non-threatening environment. Identified uses for evaluation information expanded as a result of the workshops to include newfound applications in strategy development and planning, park-specific responses and resource allocation.
