Zusammenfassung
Conservation, like all aspects of society, was severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Although there have been pro-jections and speculations about impacts on conservation plans and actions, data about the extent of these impacts aresparse. We contribute evidence from a research field site in Kibale National Park, Uganda. Our analysis shows that manyof the fears concerning the negative conservation impacts of COVID-19 were borne out. Long-term research projectswere disrupted, affecting employment opportunities in the park. These effects percolated into the local communities,which reported high levels of financial stress and other negative impacts, such as increased rates of teenage pregnancy.People who were permanently employed at the park reported lower levels of financial stress. Also particularly concerningwas the increase in poaching in the park due to a lack of food security. This research highlights an important path towardresiliency for research stations in the face of global crises, but it requires changes in funding duration and scope fromgranting agencies and governments. Operating differently than ecotourism, research field stations provide unique opportu-nities to build resilient conservation instruments and the results of this research can help guide policies to make researchfield stations more resilient.
