This project aims to provide NGOs with new strategies for raising awareness of environmental change by investigating what animal extinction means to Australians. Australasia has the highest global extinction rates, yet despite the wide circulation of visual images of extinction little is known about how they affect people. The project expects to address this critical gap by bringing innovative methodologies to the analysis of public responses to images of extinction and how they affect social imaginaries. Expected outcomes include research translations with environmental NGOs which should provide significant benefits by addressing public concern for the deteriorating ecosystems that future generations will inherit.

该项目旨在通过调查动物灭绝对澳大利亚人的意义，为非政府组织提供提高对环境变化的认识的新战略。澳大拉西亚的全球物种灭绝率最高，然而，尽管灭绝的视觉图像广泛传播，但人们对它们如何影响人类知之甚少。该项目希望通过采用创新的方法来分析公众对灭绝图像的反应及其对社会想象的影响，从而解决这一关键差距。预期成果包括与环境非政府组织进行研究翻译，这将解决公众对子孙后代将继承的日益恶化的生态系统的关切，从而提供重大好处。
