Evidence base

Here, an evi­dence base refers to a body of knowl­edge about how socio-eco­log­i­cal sys­tems behave. The evi­dence base includes knowl­edge rang­ing from sci­en­tif­ic assess­ments to tra­di­tion­al knowl­edge and may exist in many forms includ­ing white papers, reports, peer reviewed lit­er­a­ture, pri­ma­ry data, inter­views, tra­di­tion­al oral accounts, gov­ern­ment records, and social media content.
