Conservation in the maelstorm of Covid-19 - a call to action to solve the challenge, exploit opportunities and prepare for the next pandemic.

Abstract

The impacts of Covid-19 are profoundly re-shaping our lives, with many commentators suggesting that normality will be permanently redefined for all sectors of society . The conservation impacts are set to be huge which is an understatement. We must also insist that conservationists contribute to re-shaping the future post Covid-19 world, to ensure that potential benefits to nature conservation and protection are realized.
