Conservation science failing to reverse species declines, becoming "mere accountants of extinction
Biodiversity is decreasing rapidly, but conservation scientists are not effectively using their knowledge to help reverse this trend. By not engaging policymakers with conservation recommendations, scientists are missing opportunities to make a real impact. This lack of translating science into policies is a major issue in conservation biology. In today's world, it is no longer acceptable for scientists to stay uninvolved in advocating for specific conservation actions. The urgency of the situation demands active engagement to prevent further mass extinction caused by humans.
