Senior Ecologist Calls on Scientists in Op-Ed: If Not Us, Who?

In a new WorldView column in the journal Nature, HF Senior Ecologist Aaron Ellison outlines steps for scientists to go beyond collecting data and to take a more active role in preserving biodiversity.

The call is one echoed and answered by many researchers at the Forest; projects like the Science Policy Exchange and Wildlands & Woodlands serve as a model for the integration of science, policy, and conservation.

Ellison is currently traveling on sabbatical. You can learn more about his research online, or follow his travels and ideas on his blog.
