 es are limited.\n\nPaul Ferraro\, the Humanitas Visiting Professor in Sust
 ainability Studies 2015-16\, will participate in a seminar run by the Camb
 ridge Conservation Initiative. This is part of a series of events with Pau
 l Ferraro on the theme of Effective Environmentalism.  The seminar will be
  chaired by Professor Nigel Leader-Williams (Cambridge Institute for Susta
 inability Leadership).\n\nTo develop effective protected area networks\, p
 ractitioners need credible\, scientific evidence about the degree to which
  protected areas affect environmental and social outcomes\, and how these 
 effects vary with context. Such evidence has been lacking\, but the situat
 ion is changing as conservation scientists adopt more sophisticated resear
 ch designs for evaluating protected areas’ past impacts and for predicti
 ng their future impacts. With a deeper understanding of the moderators and
  mechanisms through which protected areas operate\, scholars and practitio
 ners are more likely to design and implement protected areas in ways that 
 enhance their desired impacts and reduce their undesired consequences. Pro
 fessor Ferraro describes the growing empirical evidence base\, the gaps in
  our knowledge\, and the current evidence implies for effective protected 
 area design.
