It also reminds us that we can shift baselines in another direction.davidsuzuki.org"The generational amnesia observed by Daniel Pauly, my Quadra neighbours, and me is a main cause of shifting baseline syndrome," @davidsuzukifdn.bsky.social writes.

Protected areas’ location may hinder conservation efforts of refugee species | Sea Around UsThe tendency to place protected areas in habitats that are less attractive to humans because they are not very productive may be the reason why many species remain threatened and continue to decline.bit.lyUBC Oceans“Animals, like humans, can make bad decisions; they may use a habitat that is bad for them.
