Welcome to the website dedicated to conservation culturomics |
|
Culturomics is a form of computational lexicology that studies human behavior and cultural trends through the quantitative analysis of digitized texts, images, videos, sounds etc. Conservation culturomics is a new field that aims to look at human-nature interactions as these are manifested in the, ever expanding, digital realm. These interactions can prove extremely insightful in both understanding the patterns behind human interest, value, and knowledge towards nature and conservation. Such insights could prove to be key in both allocating funds for conservation projects, increasing their visibility and success, and ultimately incorporating social aspects of conservation on a broad scale in a quantitative fashion.
