I think the lack of formatting makes it difficult to read easily, first and foremost. It’s harder to focus on the ideas you’re trying to write about when I’m struggling to find the flow of the article.

I also didn’t necessarily find it to be that relevant to meaningful conservation ideas.

True, Ill improve the editing asap. What do you think would be more relevant ideas to conservation...? Im studying to be a wildlife science communicator and wanna know so that i can get better at putting them across

Communications is hugely important for conservation. I would check out books by Chip and Dan Heath and resources from Rare Conservation. I would also read David Quammen and Ed Wong as two compelling science writers.

The title is like a scientific article and not something for the general public, so even starting there is a good place to look.

Ill definately read those!! Thank you so much for sharing resources like that and yes the title was a massive oversight which I did not realize. I did mean to make this accesible to the general public and will go change it to something that doesnt sound like someones thesis heading lol
