Conservation science
Understanding nature and quantifying patterns of biological diversity and ecological integrity help us make better land management and policy decisions. Informing decisions requires that scientists work with decision makers. We should ensure that decisions are made in ways that reflect diverse perspectives, especially from people that have historically been under-represented in conservation.
Landscape and macro-ecology
It is important to consider ecological patterns at a broad scale. Sometimes we lose the details, but gain perspective by taking a broad view of nature.
Community ecology
The details are still important. What local-scale processes and environmental settings determine which species occur in which places and how they interact with other species and the environment? This local-scale understanding is critical and a complement to broader-scale considerations mentioned above.
