The field of ecology in the United States is not fully harnessing the diverse perspectives of the American population. Two major limitations to advancing diversity and inclusion include insufficient awareness of biased attitudes and the lack of large-scale faculty engagement in diversity and inclusion programs. Academic institutions must recognize and value individuals that participate in diversity and inclusion programs. Valuing this work will motivate all ecologists to accept the responsibility for these efforts and not simply assume that the few minorities in their field can do this work.
美国生态学领域尚未充分利用美国民众的多元化视角。在推进多样性和包容性方面存在两个主要局限，包括对有偏见的态度缺乏认识，以及没有大规模的教员参与多样性和包容性方案。学术机构必须认可和重视参与多样性和包容性方案的个人。重视这项工作将激励所有生态学家承担这些努力的责任，而不是简单地认为该领域的少数少数群体可以完成这项工作。
