Squirrel taxonomy, failure of the research machine and lack of conservation
This episode covers squirrels, their taxonomy and conservation management failures in a globalized world dominated by science, policy and its institutions, but failing to address even the most basic concepts for such species, and for nature overall.
\nWe show that specifically species for wealthy nations are affected and propose that this concept is to be improved.
