文化经济学是一个新兴的研究领域，它试图通过对大量数字文本中词频变化的量化分析来理解人类文化。文化遗传学研究可以帮助自然保护从业者应对文化趋势，建立和重振其社会相关性。我们确定了五个可用于促进保护实践和保护科学的领域：(1)承认以保护为导向的支持者并展示公众对自然的兴趣，(2)确定保护标志，(3)为近乎实时的环境监测和支持保护决策提供新的指标和工具，(4)评估保护干预措施的文化影响，以及(5)制定保护问题并促进公众理解。更广泛地说，文化遗传学开辟了一个令人兴奋的新研究领域，为自然资源保护者提供了探索和塑造人类与自然世界互动的新工具。
Culturomics is an emerging field of study that seeks to understand human culture through the quantitative analysis of changes in word frequencies in large bodies of digital texts. Culturomics research can help practitioners in nature conservation respond to cultural trends, building and reinvigorating its societal relevance. We identify five areas where culturomics can be used to advance the practice and science of conservation: (1) recognizing conservation-oriented constituencies and demonstrating public interest in nature, (2) identifying conservation emblems, (3) providing new metrics and tools for near-real-time environmental monitoring and to support conservation decision making, (4) assessing the cultural impact of conservation interventions, and (5) framing conservation issues and promoting public understanding. More generally, culturomics opens up an exciting new area of research, equipping conservationists with novel tools to explore and shape human interactions with the natural world.
