We are thrilled to announce that the SCB's Impact Evaluation Working Group has successfully transitioned from provisional to official status! The idea for a working group on impact evaluation in conservation science emerged at ICCB 2017 in Cartagena, Colombia, where a number of attendees identified a critical knowledge gap concerning impact evaluation methods in conservation. Since then, the group has received more than 100 members, formed a board, and organized several events and initiatives. In November, the SCB Programs Council approved IEWG's petition to be recognized as a full-fledged SCB working group.
