Children Prioritize Virtual Exotic Biodiversity over Local Biodiversity
by David Ng
“Our results suggest that the knowledge of children and their consideration to protect animal are mainly limited to internet contents, represented by a few exotic and charismatic species.”
This recently published PLoS article is pretty interesting, especially in the context of our Phylo project. It’s certainly something we note in terms of being able to find or get artwork for certain animals (i.e. it’s so easy to find art for iconic species: not so much for the other 19 million or so).
