为了应对世界各地意想不到的选举结果，以及无视科学证据的政策决定的增加，保护科学家正在反思在“后真相”世界中的工作。这个短语有助于让科学家意识到政策制定是混乱和多方面的，但它可能被滥用。通过介绍三种不同的保护决策方案，这种观点认为，一个神话时代的“科学或真理保护”从来没有存在过。由于决策者（政策制定者，从业人员，利益相关者）的“扩展同行社区”存在于多层治理结构中，保护一直是“后常态”。为了减少“后真相”决策发生的机会，该观点鼓励科学家仔细思考科学工作流程和科学传播。发展一种不把价值观、信仰和利益视为现代民主运作的关键部分的保护叙事，有可能维护一种对科学的脱节象牙塔的看法。相反，应该与决策者建立合作关系，我们应该利用讲故事的力量，让人们在个人层面上参与进来。这种观点鼓励科学家注意利益相关者参与和讲故事的研究，并接受适合后正常保护的工作流程，而不是试图否认后正常世界的存在。
In response to unexpected election results across the world, and a perceived increase of policy decisions that disregard scientific evidence, conservation scientists are reflecting on working in a ‘post-truth’ world. This phrase is useful in making scientists aware that policy-making is messy and multi-faceted, but it may be misused. By introducing three different scenarios of conservation decision-making, this perspective argues that a mythical era of ‘science or truth conservation’ has never existed. Since an ‘extended peer community’ of decision-makers (policy-makers, practitioners, stakeholders) are present in multi-layered governance structures, conservation has always been ‘post-normal’. To decrease the chances of ‘post-truth’ decision-making occurring, the perspective encourages scientists to think carefully about scientific workflows and science communication. Developing a conservation narrative which does not see values, beliefs, and interests, as key parts of modern functioning democracies risks upholding a perception of the disconnected ivory tower of science. Rather, co-productive relationships should be established with decision-makers, and we should harness the power of storytelling to engage people on a personal level. This perspective encourages scientists to take heed of research on stakeholder engagement and storytelling, and to embrace workflows suited to post-normal conservation, rather than trying to deny that a post-normal world exists.
