The Species Awareness Index (SAI) is designed to provide a real-time measure of changing interest in biodiversity that can help conservation organizations and science communicators develop effective strategies for protecting wildlife. The study, “Achieving a real-time online monitoring system for conservation culturomics,” was published in the journal Conservation Biology.
