Monitoring public perception of conservation is essential to ensure successful conservation outcomes. However, evaluating attitudes towards conservation projects presents daunting challenges because it is time consuming, expensive and open to social biases and small sample-size errors. Here, we present a recently developed approach to overcome these limitations – Internet-based methods - in particular offsite and onsite metrics. Offsite methods refer to Internet data mining tools that extract Internet search queries, such as Google Trends, while onsite methods refer to programmes that monitor traffic within websites, such as Google Analytics. We explore the potential of these methods rather than focus on the particular details of the case-studies provided to illustrate them. We used offsite methods to determine patterns in public interest in a reintroduced flagship species. We employed onsite metrics to assess the success in communicating a conservation outcome. Our results indicate that both offsite and onsite metrics are able to track changes in public interest across time and space. In particular, onsite metrics provide high levels of temporal and spatial resolution with a high degree of flexibility. These tools could add reliable information to traditional social surveys and represent an opportunity to improve our understanding of the drivers of interest in conservation.

Cons and prons of metabarcode analysis of fungi for fungal conservation: implications from a large scale monitoring of soil fungi in Swedish forests 2014-16.
Dahlberg, Anders; Stendahl, Johan; Lindahl, Björn (Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)A challenge for getting adequate information of the identity and composition of soil fungal diversity, hence for fungal conservation, is the largely cryptic life of fungi. Several years’ lack of sporocarps does not necessarily ... -
