Dasheng Liu discusses the alarming decline in taxonomy teaching and research, asserting that this trend is having 'devastating consequences for biodiversity conservation' around the world. He emphasizes that the reduction in academic focus on taxonomy could severely hinder efforts to preserve various species and ecosystems.
Liu highlights the significant decrease in educational emphasis on essential fields like botany and zoology in Chinese universities, pointing out that 'credit hours for botany and zoology modules have halved at many universities in China,' which raises concerns about the future of biodiversity studies.
