Language shapes who participates, whose knowledge counts and how effectively is implementation. https://www.currentconservation.org/speaking-the-language-of-life/03 Jun 2026 08:54 +0000at://did:plc:t2kc2uo67rwbo2cf4iz4d6fd/app.bsky.feed.post/3mneqee7hnc23https://bsky.app/profile/diogoverissimo.bsky.social/post/3md3j6oql6c2h🤔Compared to what? In conservation the same intervention can look transformational or negligible depending on the counterfactual, yet this choice is often implicit.
