Abstract
Villard, M., and T. D. Nudds 2007. Making the most of science during the new environmental fervor. Avian Conservation and Ecology - Écologie et conservation des oiseaux 2(1): 8.http://dx.doi.org/10.5751/ACE-00158-020108
Highlights
Sustained international discussions on greenhouse gas emissions and their reduction indicate the increasing appreciation of decision makers for environmental issues
Whether scientific ignorance or short-term political vision are at play, it is troubling to see how little influence science apparently has on some decision makers when, as in the case of greenhouse gas emissions, the weight of evidence after many years favors the notion that action would be the prudent course
Given that birds are comparatively well known and highly appreciated by the broader public, and that access to information has increased tremendously with the development of the Internet, it is troubling to witness the relatively superficial understanding of ecological phenomena revealed by many news reports

Given that birds are comparatively well known and highly appreciated by the broader public, and that access to information has increased tremendously with the development of the Internet, it is troubling to witness the relatively superficial understanding of ecological phenomena revealed by many news reports.
