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.
