An alarming 63% of surveyed environmental education and outdoor science program leaders in the US are unsure whether they will ever be able to reopen again if COVID-19 closures continue through 2020, according to a new policy brief released by the University of California-Berkeley's Lawrence Hall of Science (https://bit.ly/2B8xOb0). Around one-third of the program leaders say their programming will likely disappear, taking with them a substantial proportion of the nation's environmental education infrastructure.
ABSTRACT
Gewin discusses the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus causing COVID-19, which may not directly target wildlife but it has impacted conservation efforts around the world. Government mandates to shelter in place or at least to practice social distancing have prevented researchers from monitoring field sites as well as rearing and releasing endangered species. Unfortunately, the outbreak highlights how many species depend on direct human interventions. The Stymied conservation efforts will likely have long-term impacts. Fisheries biologist Jason Schooley says the Paddlefish Research Center (Miami OK) is shuttered due to COVID-19. Not only are scientists losing out on collecting data, but they also cant harvest caviar from angler fish donations - the proceeds of which fluid conservation projects statewide.
ABSTRACT
Staying at home is not an option for scientists working on potential vaccines or caring for research animals. Around the world, universities have closed because of COVID-19 — forcing an increasing number of researchers to work and teach from home. Some scientists can’t simply stop going to their laboratories — especially not those who are overseeing clinical trials that could offer life-saving vaccines and therapies, particularly against the new coronavirus. And some research activities must continue even in the face of a shutdown. “Animals need to be looked after, and breeding lines must be kept going. Many of these are unique and can’t be regenerated,” says Mike Turner, director of science at Wellcome, a research-funding charity in London.
