Abstract
The objective is to work in a collaborative manner with policy makers, policy formers and researchers to identify those areas where new policies are needed or where existing policies are not achieving the required results. We will collectively publish the results of the analysis. Some of these gaps will be as a result of the need for new policies while others will be a result of gaps in knowledge. We expect that this work will be influential in identifying areas where new policies are required and areas where there are gaps in knowledge that need to be filled by additional Science. This will be run jointly with Dr Andy Clements, Director of the British Trust for Ornithology.
