How is the concept of charisma used in the academic literature about biodiversity conservation? A systematic map protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The extinction of species is a multifaceted phenomenon shaped by the complex interplay between biological and socio-cultural factors. Public and academic preferences for different species often play a direct or indirect role in influencing the conservation outlook of these species. The "charisma" of species and other components of biodiversity is often mentioned as an important factor in shaping human preferences, determining both the scope of scientific studies and justifications for such scope. Here, we present a protocol for systematically mapping the use of the concept of "charisma" in relation to biodiversity peer-reviewed academic literature focused on biodiversity conservation.
