Prof Andrew Pullin

I run training courses in evidence synthesis for PhD and Masters students in the School of Natural Science.

Andrew Pullin is Director of the Centre for Evidence-Based Conservation. He is interested in the concept of evidence synthesis and evidence-based practice in environmental management. In 2007 he co-founded the Collaboration for Environmental Evidence (CEE, www.environmentalevidence.org), an NGO that promotes the conduct and dissemination of systematic reviews of evidence on environmental impacts of human actions and effectiveness of environmental management and policy interventions worldwide. The CEE acts as a reliable, open-access, source of evidence to inform decision making in conservation and environmental management and policy. Andrew is  Editor of the CEE Journal ‘Environmental Evidence’.
