There is a movement in conservation biology suggesting a new form of leadership is needed to mobilize conservation biology into a more effective discipline that is able to communicate the full scope of the problem to society at large. [81] The movement proposes an adaptive leadership approach that parallels an adaptive management approach. The ...
