Advancing Conservation Communication
The Applied Biodiversity Science Perspectives Series is a student-centered online publication dedicated to communicating conservation research to academic and non-academic audiences. The collection of articles, essays, and reflections published annually share the insights, opinions, and experiences of undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty involved in biodiversity conservation research at Texas A&M University and other universities worldwide. By telling the stories of the complex, interconnected relationship between humans and the natural systems they live, the Perspective Series advances the overarching mission of the Applied Biodiversity Science program.
