Abstract
Conservation monitoring technologies offer valuable opportunities but can also reinforce social inequality. Simlai and Sandbrook demonstrate how conservation monitoring technologies restrict the freedoms of female forest users in India. Their study shows why mitigating the social risks of digital technologies must be part of efforts towards more equitable conservation.
期刊介绍:
Trends in Ecology & Evolution (TREE) is a comprehensive journal featuring polished, concise, and readable reviews, opinions, and letters in all areas of ecology and evolutionary science. Catering to researchers, lecturers, teachers, field workers, and students, it serves as a valuable source of information. The journal keeps scientists informed about new developments and ideas across the spectrum of ecology and evolutionary biology, spanning from pure to applied and molecular to global perspectives. In the face of global environmental change, Trends in Ecology & Evolution plays a crucial role in covering all significant issues concerning organisms and their environments, making it a major forum for life scientists.
