Comforting Thought: Emotional Stories Unlock Science

Gallah couple communicating up close

“You can do the best science in the world but unless emotion is involved it’s not really very relevant. Conservation is based on emotion. It comes from the heart and one should never forget that.”

Dr. George Schaller, one of the world’s most respected biologists.

I think this is particularly true when trying to communicate the plight of endangered animals and plants. When we communicate their emotional story visually, we pierce through the cynicism and distracted busyness of people’s lives and spur them into action.
