Insights from the stakeholder workshop guide the review

9.11.2018

In our second stakeholder workshop we moved from the impacts of different forest management regimes to conservation practices used in production forests. There was a balanced participation from different stakeholder groups, and the discussion around the topic was lively and respectful. What more can one really want?

I love stakeholder workshops as they produce so many insights (or maybe we have just been lucky so far?). We presented our initial ideas regarding the review, and then sat back and listened where the biggest evidence needs lie and how can we respond to them.

It became clear that there is more need for evidence than we have resources. However, through the discussion we agreed to start with a systematic review that will focus on the impact of small-scale habitat protection on biodiversity in boreal zone.

Systematic review and map

What is a Systematic Review?
A Systematic Review collates, critically appraises, and synthesizes all available evidence relevant to a question. Reviewers use pre-defined methods to minimize bias and thus provide more reliable findings that could inform decision making.

What is a Systematic Map?
A Systematic Map collates, codes, and configures all available evidence relevant to a question. Reviewers use pre-defined methods to minimize bias and assess the extent of the evidence to provide a basis that could inform further research and synthesis.

At the first stakeholder workshop we got a question about the name of the project, specifically on the use of the word evidence. Based on the discussion that followed, evidence and evidence-based are words that are understood in multiple ways. For a … Lue lisää...
