biodiversity loss, conservation plans, Ecology, science-based decisionsAbstract
In the last decade, Brazilian ecologists have developed many researches on ecological science, with strong potential for application to environmental management. This progress had three approaches: publishing papers in international journals, developing a consolidated system of postgraduate courses training new generations of ecologists, and organizing the Brazilian Association for Ecological Science and Conservation (ABECO). However, this scientific potential has been hindered by science denialism here quoting by the Myth of Cassandra, but Brazilian ecologists will not remain cursed forever and still working to shaping a better future based on ecological science.
