We have redefined what conservation means in our latest journal article!

While the significance of the new definition is a bit pedantic, we also propose the terms beneficial/harmful species to replace the often-critiqued "native/invasive" dichotomy.

You can get free access to the paper until March 14th with the link below and here are 2 of the proposed definitions:

Beneficial species: A species or population which has been identified through a preponderance of good science for its net positive impact(s) on the functional integrity of suitable habitat and whose presence may align with positive socio-political attitudes.

Biodiversity conservation: Any action that intends to have a net positive outcome for one or more suitable habitats and/or beneficial species.

Bats are considered a natural pesticide, widely relied on by farmers as an alternative to chemical pesticides to protect their crops from insects. But since 2006, many bat populations have collapsed in counties in North America due to an invasive fungus found in the caves bats use during the day and...

Sometimes the "uglier" the species is, the more we actually need it...

"The unintentional decimation of these heavy, scavenging birds allowed deadly bacteria and infections to proliferate, leading to the deaths of about half a million people over five years"

"The 50 million-strong vulture population had plummeted to near zero because of diclofenac, a cheap non-steroidal painkiller for cattle that is fatal to vultures"

A new study links the vulture decline in India to deadly bacteria spread, causing about 500,000 deaths.
