Why should the WildLabs community be interested?
Because the amount of money donated to nature conservation is a drop on a glowing plate. Seriously more money can only come from where seriously more money is, the world of finance. There are some tough nuts to crack before that is going to work. Some of those have to do with quantification of biodiversity and the impact of activities on nature and biodiversity. If there are people in the world that could crack those nuts in a meaningful, conscientious and scientific way, then some of them are here at WildLabs. Where else would they be?
