In a January editorial in Science, Alvarez, Huete - Perez and Axel Meyer, a professor of biology at the University of Konstanz Germany, wrote, «It is incumbent upon scientists, human rights advocates, nongovernmental organizations and
wildlife protection organizations to share knowledge, voice concerns, provide guidance and demand a greater role for science in the design and construction of this
massive project.»
The areas of conservation and the environment are
massive, and range from engineering, technical studies, and
wildlife protection to campaigning, law, and policy.
