The big-nosed, small-eyed proboscis monkey has seen an unlikely surge in popularity thanks to memes. And this, says biologist Magdalena Lenda, could help protect other endangered species. Lenda from the Institute of Nature Conservation of the Polish Academy of Sciences and the University of Queensland checked how the appearance of a given animal can affect the popularity of fundraisers for the protection of a given species. Traditionally, it is easier to raise funds for protecting animals considered beautiful such as pandas, koalas and tigers. But an exception to the rule has emerged in Poland, with the the proboscis monkey Nasalis larvatus. The proboscis monkey is a complete opposite: it has a large nose, small eyes and a mean face', says Dr.

When researcher Magdalena Lenda was spending long evenings at Australian University, far from her home in Poland, she often waited for her family back home to wake up so she could call them. Just to kill some time, she would scroll through Facebook. This particular meme was a photo of two strange looking monkey with long noses. Lenda went down the meme rabbit hole and discovered a whole page of amusing memes using proboscis monkeys Nasalis larvatus to depict themes about everyday Polish life. A Polish meme translated to English. But Lenda also followed World Wildlife Fund and Greenpeace on Facebook and noticed their memes included more well-known, cute or charismatic animals like pandas Ailuropoda melanoleuca , koalas Phascolarctos cinereus or elephants. In a study that Lenda led published in Conservation Biology , she and her colleagues set out to find if memes of not so charismatic species, like proboscis monkeys, gain conservation support.

Today, the internet facilitates an individual in sharing their memes to vast audiences across the world. These often humorous images are embellished with a short captions and usually reflect social ideas and current events of the time. Consequently, memes hold great power for education and bringing about positive action. In their recent paper , published in Conservation Biology, Magdelena Lenda and colleagues ask whether memes can help in the quest to encourage the protection of less appealing species? Charismatic animals such as tigers, pandas and whales, adorn the posters of WWF appeals, National Geographic and television adverts and are readily supported by a public emotionally primed by the latest David Attenborough film.
