Nice summary Alice. I think a critical point here is that conservation biology is explicitely a form of advocacy science. That gives pause to some but that was the intention of this discipline when it was created.

Thanks for the compliment, and for the comment. Researching this topic was certainly eye-opening for me - I was familiar with the conservation community's scientific advocacy, but I was unaware of the degree to which advocacy is central to the science itself.
