By offering a long-term view of life’s responses to environmental change, the fossil record challenges us to reflect on its potential to inform modern conservation.

Understanding these processes and considering whether these long-term perspectives can inform conservation efforts is crucial, especially in the face of the current biodiversity crisis.
