The Applied Ecologist Blog

As a library, it is our job to share resources with faculty and students. Here is one that anyone interested in conservation and ecology may find interesting.

The Applied Ecologist blog is the official blog for Journal of Applied Ecology, “this is a place for authors to promote their research through written posts, podcasts, videos and images. We also hope it will be a place for authors, readers, practitioners and policymakers to discuss anything relating to the interface between ecological science and the management of biological resources”. You can sign up to get email alerts when they add new blog posts. 

A recent post, Poaching problems? More rangers, please… takes a closer look at the difficulties rangers face trying to protect endangered species within protected areas. They stated that over 1,000 rangers have died in the line of duty protecting wildlife.
