It is a well-known problem: too rarely do nature conservation initiatives, recommendations, or strategies announced by politicians lead to people really changing their everyday behavior. A German-Israeli research team led by the Helmholtz Center for Environmental Research (UFZ) and the German Center for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) has investigated the reasons for this. According to the team, the measures proposed by politicians do not sufficiently exploit the range of possible behavioral interventions and too rarely specify the actual target groups, they write in the journal Conservation Biology.

Tiger conservationist and Padma Shri awardee Dr Kota Ullas Karanth says the numbers for India’s national animal could have been 10,000 given the country’s forest cover. But excessive bureaucratic domination, needless habitat modifications and encroachment [...]

Scientists at Duke University are harnessing the power of big data and geospatial analysis to create new ways to track the effects of climate change on species and food webs. Their work, which is funded by the National Science Foundation and NASA, began in 2018 and has already yielded two powerful new tools.
