    Conservation Culturomics

    A relatively new field that leverages big data and digital technologies to study human-nature interactions by analyzing community-generated information, such as internet searches, social media posts, blogs, and other digital content. By examining these vast datasets, conservation culturomics aims to uncover patterns and trends in public interest and behavior toward biodiversity and conservation issues. This insight is crucial for understanding how societal values and perceptions about nature evolve and how these changes can influence conservation policies and practices.

    The approach allows researchers and policymakers to gauge public awareness and engagement with conservation efforts, identify emerging threats to biodiversity, and detect early interest in endangered species or habitats. By tapping into the cultural zeitgeist, conservation culturomics provides a dynamic tool for crafting more effective and resonant conservation strategies that align with public interest and behavior.

    The higher the score, the better the country ranks for this parameter.

    The table is sorted from the highest score to the lowest:

    Source and Calculation

    Data on country-specific culturomics scores for biodiversity and conservation are sourced from a report for Report for On the Edge Conservation by Caetano et al. (2021). A minimum score is given to a country with a culturomics score of 0.

    *Different sources offer varying data, as datasets may be subject to changes due to recent updates and revisions.
