RESEARCH SUGGESTS BENEFITS OF CONSERVATION EFFORTS MAY NOT YET BE FULLY VISIBLE –

The time it takes for species to respond to conservation measures – known as an ‘ecological time lag’ – could be partly masking any real progress that is being made, experts have warned. Work published Monday offers new hope that in some cases, conservation measures may not necessarily be failing, it is just too early to see the progress that is being made. (Newcastle University)
