Prof. Bill Sutherland: Using Evidence to Save Wildlife More Effectively

Bill Sutherland is Miriam Rothschild Professor of Conservation Biology at the University of Cambridge, Department of Zoology, and founder of Conservation Evidence. For over 20 years he’s been asking a deceptively simple question: if a doctor can look up the evidence for any treatment before prescribing, why can't a conservationist do the same? Conservation has long relied on tradition, intuition, and accumulated experience. But the tools being used today are often the same ones used 50 years ago, while every other field has been transformed by innovation. Bill's work is changing that, by making evidence accessible, pushing practitioners to test what actually works, and challenging the field to ask whether its standard practices are as effective as assumed.

He coined the term "evidence-based conservation" and has spent over two decades building the tools and frameworks to make it a global standard. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society and was appointed Commander of the British Empire (CBE) in 2021 for services to evidence-based conservation. He also runs Conservation Concepts, a YouTube channel making ecology accessible to anyone curious about the natural world. About Conservation Evidence: Conservation Evidence is a free, open-access database and journal summarizing scientific evidence on the effectiveness of conservation interventions. From managing invasive species to restoring habitats and protecting threatened wildlife, it gives practitioners, funders, and policymakers the evidence they need to make better decisions, in plain language anyone can understand.
