On a more personal note, this has been an incredibly rich experience and I hope the beginning of many more collaborations! 🤩

So where do we go from here? We also propose a strategy to improve the acquisition, mobilization and integration of biodiversity-relevant data from historical sources. Importantly, we highlight that interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity are essential in the process.

Now there is no universal recipe to integrate diverse historical sources. But there are already several databases (tinyurl.com/4p2chu4a) and tools available. New technologies, particularly computer vision, are also increasingly applied to mine relevant data from the historical material.
Using historical and palaeoecological data to inform ambitious species recovery targets | Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
Historical data are a valuable resource for addressing present-day conservation issues,
for example by informing the establishment of appropriate recovery targets. However,
while the recovery of threa...

Historical ecologists have been successfully using and integrating those sources in studies all across the globe. For instance, they reconstructed natural baselines; shed lights on populations dynamics; and revealed species introductions. tinyurl.com/kpsj3mxt

We identified 8 types of sources and the biodiversity information they host. Beyond the usual suspects of paleo-archives and collections, old maps, written materials, oral sources, and even art can reveal the past of species, ecosystems and human-nature interactions tinyurl.com/329fxfre

Together with Miguel Clavero @chikichanka.bsky.social we organized the SOURCES symposium & workshop in Seville where we invited landscape ecologists, archeologists, geographers, palynologists, historians and conservation biologists to address this issue.

So how can we look further back in the past, to plan better for the future? There are in fact many information relevant to biodiversity research contained in historical materials but they have mostly been ignored by natural scientists. Now that is changing: doi.org/10.3354/esr0...
Global research priorities for historical ecology to inform conservation
Historical ecology draws on a broad range of information sources and methods to provide insight into ecological and social change, especially over the past ∼12000 yr. While its results are...
