Conservation blind spots
Conservation blind spots are overlooked areas or issues in environmental preservation that we may not recognize or address, often because they fall outside our focus or awareness. These blind spots can include lesser-known habitats, hidden ecological impacts, or biases that cause us to prioritize certain species or regions over others. As a result, important ecosystems or environmental challenges might be neglected, undermining overall efforts to protect biodiversity. Recognizing these blind spots is crucial for developing more comprehensive conservation strategies that consider all aspects of the natural world.
