Executive summary: Animal advocacy organizations use research and data for legitimacy, decision-making, partnerships, catalyzing action, and communication. More evidence is needed on effective tactics and emerging production systems. Investing in collaboration and knowledge translation can increase research impact.
Key points:
Research establishes legitimacy and supports internal decision-making. It also builds partnerships with other groups and catalyzes individual and institutional action.
Peer-reviewed research is the gold standard. Government and industry research has biases but cannot be ignored.
More evidence needed on effective tactics for change, especially social movements. Also lacking research on species and geographies outside the Global North.
Organizations have trouble translating complexity of findings into action. More sharing of what works and does not work needed.
Investments required in researcher-advocate relationships and knowledge translation activities to identify priorities, disseminate findings, and highlight connections between issues.
