许多科学家（包括生态学家和保护生物学家）的温室气体（GHG）排放量通常比一般非科学家的排放量要高得多（Fox et al. 2009，Synolakis and Foteinis 2009，Burke 2010，Spinellis and Louridas 2013）。这些“额外”温室气体排放大部分来自航空旅行，主要是为了进行研究或参加专业会议（Achten 等人，2013 年）。考虑到温室气体排放可能对全球环境造成的潜在危害，科学界应该致力于更好地管理其学术活动，以尽量减少温室气体排放和相关的生态足迹（Favaro 2014）。
The greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions attributable to many scientists, including ecologists and conservation biologists, are often much greater than those attributable to average non-scientists (Fox et al. 2009, Synolakis and Foteinis 2009, Burke 2010, Spinellis and Louridas 2013). The majority of these 'extra' GHG emissions are due to air travel, primarily to conduct research or to attend professional meetings and conferences (Achten et al. 2013). Considering the potential harm that GHG emissions can cause to the global environment, the scientific community should be aiming to better manage its academic activities to minimize GHG emissions and the associated ecological footprint (Favaro 2014).
