  abstract = {{D}rawing on 662 studies from 102 countries, we present a systematic review of published empirical studies about site-level biodiversity conservation initiated between 1970 and 2019. {W}ithin this sample, we find that knowledge production




about the {G}lobal {S}outh is largely produced by researchers in the {G}lobal {N}orth, implying a neocolonial power dynamic. {W}e also find evidence of bias in reported ecological outcomes linked to lack of independence in scientific studies,




serving to uphold narratives about who should lead conservation. {W}e explore relationships in the sample studies between conservation initiative types, the extent of {I}ndigenous {P}eoples' and local communities' influence in governance,




and reported social and ecological outcomes. {F}indings reveal positive ecological and social outcomes are strongly associated with higher levels of influence of {I}ndigenous {P}eoples and local communities and their institutions, implying




equity in conservation practice should be advanced not only for moral reasons, but because it can enhance conservation effectiveness.},
