Conservation Science
Science is the foundation of everything we do at Saving Nature. We set our priorities with sophisticated modelling and mapping tools. We routinely mine big data for insights that will steer a course to a sustainable future for the world’s biodiversity. Here we share the science to provide perspective on conservation topics and amplify our impact.
Our conservation science corner is a roundup of topics that caught our attention. Although seemingly a bit eclectic, they all have a common thread related to the future of threatened and endangered species. Some posts are a call to action. Others acknowledge what we have already lost forever. Â
The impact of climate change on species and their habitat are a disturbing thread in the news these days, but one that scientists are working to address. By understanding the intersection of climate change and extinctions, it is possible to chart an effective course of action. For example, our work to help species flee uphill to escape climate change in the Andes.Â
Excellence in science communications is another topic we are passionate about. Whether it’s infographics that effectively convey complex concepts or great storytelling by conservation actors. Â
We also like to recognize achievements in conservation science by our team – from authorship of scientific publications to awards for excellence in research. Also, we like to keep tabs on our Founder and President, Stuart Pimm, who is often interviewed by the media on a variety of conservation issue. Of course, we couldn’t resist sharing news about our projects! Â
Despite the challenges highlighted in many of these articles, we remain optimistic that with sound science and committed action, we can create a better future.
