I always feel,
"Science" in the context of biodiversity monitoring and conservation should be such that local people who are consistently
available at conservation sites over very long periods can understand, practice and implement it
without physical presence of the "Scientist"(s). Conservation has
survived not because of 'pure scientists' but because of local people. Most of our
scientific interventions are 'project based' for small durations. So please
think about such aspects.
Please make Science simple
for grass root level staff and other persons because the future of biodiversity
or a species depends strongly or entirely on inputs from local talent or
muscle-power available readily.
In the name of science let us
not jeopardise the local interests.
Fortunately,
most of scientific outputs from Crocodile fraternity are simple and
long-lasting.
Search 'science' and refine the existing traditional methods.
