Cultivating Creativity in Conservation Science
Conservation Biology, 2013Abstract Conservation practitioners and scientists are often faced with seemingly intractable problems in which traditional approaches fail. While other sectors (e.g., business) frequently emphasize creative thinking to overcome complex challenges, creativity is rarely identified as an essential skill for conservationists.

Effective Conservation Science
2017This book gathers together 28 personal stories told by leading thinkers and practitioners in conservation – all of whom have something to say about the uncomfortable tension that arises when data meet dogma. Together, they make a powerful argument for conservation science that measures effectiveness and evolves in response to new data, rather than ...

Standardizing science for conservation
Science, 2019Ecology Assessments of biodiversity and human impacts on the environment often rely on species distribution models that make data-supported predictions of species survival in changing environments. However, no agreed-upon standards for evaluating these models exist, and their application to conservation policy is inconsistent. Araujo et al.

Pacific Conservation Biology, 1995
A wide array of DNA-based genetic techniques are now available for the study of many problems in conservation biology. Either directly or indirectly, such techniques are becoming increasingly available to scientists and managers alike. Although these technologies are generally known to conservationists, there is a need to clearly outline the principal ...

Macromolecular Symposia, 2006
Abstract‘Conservation science’ or ‘cultural heritage research’ is defined through a discussion of research needs, training and employment patterns world‐wide, and trends in published work. Parallels with mainstream polymer science are drawn throughout. Some aspects are discussed in more detail: traditional paint composites; studies in modern, synthetic,

Conservation, Ecology, and Science
2019This chapter discusses the relationship between conservation, ecology, and science. The big problem facing human beings, and all other organisms on the planet, is that the ecological footprint of humans—the area of biologically productive land needed per person per year to sustain their lifestyles—exceeds the ability of the Earth to support it.

Wilderness and Conservation Science
2007Abstract On April 21, 1948, an out-of-control trash fire spread in the sand hills of central Wisconsin. As fires go, it was a small one. No cities were threatened, and no large forests with accumulated years of dry timber stood nearby. It did threaten the farm on which it started, though, and the surrounding lots and forests.
