Europe is one of the world's most densely populated continents and has a long history of human-dominated land- and seascapes. Europe is also at the forefront of developing and implementing multinational conservation efforts. In this contribution, we describe some top policy issues in Europe that need to be informed by high-quality conservation science. These include evaluation of the effectiveness of the Natura 2000 network of protected sites, implications of rapid economic and subsequent land-use change in Central and Eastern Europe, conservation of marine biodiversity and sustainability of fisheries, the effect of climate change on movement of species in highly fragmented landscapes, and attempts to assess the economic value of ecosystem services and biodiversity. Broad policy issues such as those identified are not easily amenable to scientific experiment. A key challenge at the science-policy interface is to identify the research questions underlying these problem areas so that conservation science can provide evidence to underpin future policy development.
欧洲是世界上人口最密集的大陆之一，人类主导陆地和海洋景观的历史悠久。欧洲在开展和实施跨国保护工作方面也处于前沿地位。在本论文中，我们描述了欧洲一些需要高质量保护科学提供信息的首要政策问题。这些问题包括对“自然2000”保护区网络有效性的评估、中东欧快速经济发展及随之而来的土地利用变化的影响、海洋生物多样性保护和渔业可持续性、气候变化对高度破碎化景观中物种迁移的影响，以及评估生态系统服务和生物多样性经济价值的尝试。像这样确定的广泛政策问题不容易通过科学实验来解决。科学与政策接口处的一个关键挑战是确定这些问题领域背后的研究问题，以便保护科学能够为未来政策制定提供支持证据。
