Conservation scientists are increasingly recognising the value of communicating policy-relevant knowledge to policy-makers. Whilst considerable progress has been made in offering practical advice for scientists seeking to engage more closely with decision-makers, researchers have provided few tangible examples to learn from. This paper uses an English case study, but draws out important high-level messages relevant to conservation scientists worldwide. The case study looks at how the Lawton Review presented knowledge persuasively about the suitability of England's ecological network to deal with future pressures. Through skilful framing of rigorous scientific knowledge it was able to make a significant impact on government policy. Impact was achieved through: (1) selecting politically salient frames through which to communicate; (2) using clear, accessible language, and; (3) conducting rigorous science using an authoritative team of experts. Although its publication coincided with a favourable policy window, the Lawton Review seized on this opportunity to communicate a rigorously argued, persuasive and practical conservation message; in other words, it performed 'honest advocacy'. Thus, whilst it remains important to conduct scientific research with technical rigour, conservation scientists could also benefit from identifying salient frames for conservation and communicating clearly.

对自然的诚实倡导：提出具有说服力的保护性叙述。

保护科学家越来越认识到与政策制定者交流政策相关知识的价值。尽管在为寻求与决策者更紧密接触的科学家提供实用建议方面取得了很大进展，但研究人员却没有提供具体的实例来学习。本文使用英语案例研究，但得出了与全球保护科学家有关的重要高级信息。案例研究着眼于《劳顿评论》如何有说服力地介绍了英格兰生态网络应对未来压力的适用性。通过对严格的科学知识的熟练掌握，它能够对政府政策产生重大影响。通过以下方式实现了影响：（1）选择政治上显着的交流框架；（2）使用清晰易懂的语言，以及 （3）使用权威的专家团队进行严格的科学。尽管《劳顿评论》的出版恰逢有利的政策窗口，但它抓住了这个机会，传达了一个经过严格论证，有说服力和实用的保护信息；换句话说，它执行了“诚实的倡导”。因此，尽管以严格的技术进行科学研究仍然很重要，但保护科学家也可以从确定保护和清晰沟通的显着框架中受益。有说服力和实用的保护信息；换句话说，它执行了“诚实的倡导”。因此，尽管以严格的技术进行科学研究仍然很重要，但保护科学家也可以从确定保护和清晰沟通的显着框架中受益。有说服力和实用的保护信息；换句话说，它执行了“诚实的倡导”。因此，尽管以严格的技术进行科学研究仍然很重要，但保护科学家也可以从确定保护和清晰沟通的显着框架中受益。
