title: Professional ecologists and the education of young children.
abstract: Efforts to conserve natural habitats and their non-human occupants, a concern of most ecologists and evolutionary biologists, are ultimately futile unless there is a change in concepts and attitudes among decision-makers throughout the general public, from subsistence farmers to presidents of multinational corporations. One way to encourage this change is to upgrade the biological and environmental education that children receive.
