Conservation Stories from the Front Lines
Scientists tell stories about their work in many ways, in many venues. And though the ups and downs of the research process underlie every scientific publication, they rarely make it into the final paper. In this Collection, the tragedy, comedy, and (mis)adventures that infuse the practice of science will enter the scientific record as peer-reviewed scientific stories. The stories come from scientists working to manage and preserve biodiversity, and offer a new way to engage diverse audiences in today’s pressing scientific issues.
