Humans have profoundly altered all of Earth’s ecosystems. This is a central aspect of what is known as the “Anthropocene.” Despite extensive research, long-term ecological data is often lacking, making it difficult to clearly distinguish between natural and human influences. This is where Conservation Paleobiology comes in: an interdisciplinary field that uses geohistorical data (e.g., fossils, sediments) to understand changes in biodiversity over long time periods and to support conservation efforts. However, this knowledge has so far been rarely put into practice. The causes include limited resources, low public awareness of paleontology, a psychological distance from the “distant past,” and a lack of trust in paleontological data. To overcome this, targeted communication measures are needed in the form of informational materials—such as infographics—that strengthen understanding and collaboration between paleontologists and conservationists and highlight concrete applications.
