Transcending language barriers to environmental sciences

该项目旨在通过解决语言障碍来加强全球科学知识的流动，以保护生物多样性。该项目利用文献综述、建模和全球调查来阐明以非英语语言出版的生物多样性科学的细节，以及语言如何阻碍在决策中使用生物多样性科学。该项目将为非英语保护研究建立一个数据库和搜索系统，并认识到翻译的重要性，以更好地为政策和实践提供信息。这将增加可用于合成的知识并促进以科学为主导的保护，从而使国家和国际环境科学和政策受益。

This project aims to enhance the global flow of scientific knowledge for biodiversity conservation by tackling the impediment of language barriers. The project draws from literature reviews, modelling and global surveys to shed light on details of biodiversity science published in non-English languages, and how language impedes the use of biodiversity science in decision-making. The project will produce a database and search system for non-English conservation studies and recognise the importance of translations to better inform policies and practices. This will benefit national and international environmental sciences and policies by increasing knowledge available for synthesis and facilitating science-led conservation.
