This commentary examines the dynamics of tropical conservation science, the translation of scientific insights into practical conservation actions, and the resulting conservation outcomes over the last 35?years, using Biodiversity (Wilson &Peters, 1988)as a point of reference. Despite significant scientific advancements, the overall conservation outcomes at regional and global levels have been discouraging, marked by ongoing deforestation of tropical forests and declining animal populations. Recognizing the complex socio-economic nature of the biodiversity crisis, this commentary proposes the expansion of indigenous territories and protected areas, the establishment of a global biodiversity monitoring network, and the training of a new generation of translational ecologists, as potential pathways toward a more promising future.
