This book brings together scientific evidence and experience
relevant to the practical conservation of wild bees. The authors
worked with an international group of bee experts and
conservationists to develop a global list of interventions that
could benefit wild bees. They range from protecting natural habitat
to controlling disease in commercial bumblebee colonies. For each
intervention, the book summarises studies captured by the
Conservation Evidence project, where that intervention has been
tested and its effects on bees quantified. The result is a thorough
guide to what is known, or not known, about the effectiveness of
bee conservation actions throughout the world. Bee Conservation is
the first in a series of synopses that will cover different species
groups and habitats, gradually building into a comprehensive
summary of evidence on the effects of conservation interventions
for all biodiversity throughout the world. By making evidence
accessible in this way, we hope to enable a change in the practice
of conservation, so it can become more evidence-based. We also aim
to highlight where there are gaps in knowledge. Evidence from all
around the world is included. If there appears to be a bias towards
evidence from northern European or North American temperate
environments, this reflects a current bias in the published
research that is available to us. Conservation interventions are
grouped primarily according to the relevant direct threats, as
defined in the International Union for the Conservation of Nature
(IUCN)'s Unified Classification of Direct Threats.
