I'm preparing for my talk at #BES2025 and want to know what people think the main goal of applied ecological and conservation research is. If everything goes to plan, I’ll be using the poll results in the talk itself, so the more responses the better! @britishecologicalsociety.org
What do you think the primary goal of applied ecological/conservation research is?
