Who we are and what we do...
We are a group of scientist interested in the rapidly developing field of conservation culturomics. We aim to develop and use these tools to improve our understanding of human-nature relationships and promote conservation. We have joint initiatives and collaborations that aim to advance this field and promote its use.
Many of us also take part of the Conservation Culturomics (ConsCult) Working Group of the Society for Conservation Biology - SCB (and this venue also serves as an unofficial website of this group). This working group aims to promote the use of new forms of digital data and methods to explore cultural dimensions of human-nature interactions. Its goals are to facilitate the integration of digital methods in conservation and generate new metrics and insights on the cultural profile of natural entities and human engagements with biodiversity that will support conservation science, policy and practice.
To fulfill these goals, we aim to build a truly multi-disciplinary group with interests that span the natural, social and computational sciences. We have a number of activities planned for the upcoming months, including attendance at regional and international SCB meetings, a special issue on the topic of conservation culturomics and an assessment of the uptake of digital technologies for conservation.
