English Nature and its predecessor, the Nature Conservancy Council (NCC), have had a long and active association with fossil collecting and fossil excavation. Although the nature of involvement and the reasoning behind it have varied over the years, a strong link between palaeontological conservation and fossil excavation has long been established. In terms of palaeontology and palaeontological conservation, fossil excavation can be both highly beneficial and extremely damaging. English Nature has an important role to play in discouraging irresponsible fossil collecting and excavation, whilst at the same time helping to advance palaeontology and palaeontological conservation through supporting and co-ordinating fossil collecting and excavation carried out at appropriate sites and in a responsible manner.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
