Great observations on the importance of field stations to conservation. Thanks for all the links which are very useful. I just signed up for the ScienceAdvisor newsletter thanks to your Substack. Anything with Katharine Hayhoe's comments in it is worth following.
I like this because it pushes back against the idea that technology can replace being present in a landscape. Data can tell us that something changed, but field stations help explain why it changed. Do you think conservation funders undervalue long-term field presence because it looks less flashy than new technology?

Fabulous case for the field stations. An regular feature hopefully in times to come.
Interesting. I have been in the Harapan Forest in Jambi too.
