Recognizing the need to identify ways in which conservation researchers and practitioners can work constructively with faith leaders and communities to conserve biological diversity, the Religion and Conservation Biology Working Group of the Society for Conservation Biology formally launched the Best Practices Project in March 2016 for the purpose of collecting recommendations from SCB members throughout the world. A survey of members in 2016, a forum at the 2016 International Marine Conservation Congress in Newfoundland/Labrador, a symposium, workshop and poster session at the 2017 International Congress for Conservation Biology in Colombia, and an e-mail request to RCBWG members in October 2017 yielded many recommendations that constitute Guidelines for Interacting with Faith-based Leaders and Communities: A Proposal by and for Members of the Society for Conservation Biology published by the SCB in May 2018. Members have been reporting the efficacy of following these guidelines in their projects, and five who worked with different faiths presented their experiences in the field during a symposium at the 2019 ICCB in Malaysia. Abridged versions of their presentations are shared in this article with focus on guidelines that proved most helpful for facilitating conservation-faith collaboration to achieve project goals. Discussed subsequently are ways in which conservationists and faith communities benefited from their joint efforts, reasons why conservationists should consider engaging faith communities in their projects, and impediments to collaboration that must be overcome. The SCB guidelines are listed succinctly, and conservationists are urged to consider using them in their projects.

使用 SCB 指南促进保护科学与信仰合作的功效：实地经验

认识到需要确定保护研究人员和从业人员可以与宗教领袖和社区进行建设性合作以保护生物多样性的方式，保护生物学协会的宗教和保护生物学工作组于 2016 年 3 月正式启动了最佳实践项目。收集来自世界各地的 SCB 成员的建议。2016 年成员调查、2016 年纽芬兰/拉布拉多国际海洋保护大会论坛、哥伦比亚 2017 年国际保护生物学大会的研讨会、研讨会和海报会议，以及 10 月向 RCBWG 成员发送的电子邮件请求2017 年提出了许多建议，这些建议构成了与基于信仰的领导者和社区互动的指南：由 SCB 于 2018 年 5 月发布的保护生物学协会成员的提案。成员一直在报告在他们的项目中遵循这些准则的效果，五位具有不同信仰的工作人员在研讨会上介绍了他们在该领域的经验在 2019 年马来西亚 ICCB 上。本文分享了他们演示文稿的节略版本，重点是被证明对促进保护信仰合作以实现项目目标最有帮助的指南。随后讨论了保护主义者和信仰社区从他们的共同努力中受益的方式，保护主义者应该考虑让信仰社区参与他们的项目的原因，以及必须克服的合作障碍。简洁地列出了 SCB 指南，
