This review examines zoos and aquariums as socio-ecological testbeds for climate mitigation and sustainable development, analyzing four technological pathways: genetic/reproductive biotechnologies, AI-assisted digital tools, operational sus…

Clodagh Moran

This study investigates whether trust in politicians predicts support for a wide range of climate policies, including fuel bans, grants, EV incentives, and agricultural measures. It also examines the moderating role of rurality. Using multi…
