Karen A. Owens, Gosia Bryja, and Marc Bekoff, Wildlife conservation: The importance of individual personality traits and sentience

Abstract

Individual cognitive and emotional differences in personality among animals, along with differences in their behavioral traits, are increasingly important in conservation efforts. It is not only more effective but more ethical to take both collective and individual perspectives into account in both research and practice.
