Digital echo chambers and filter bubbles are increasingly the subject of societal, political, and scientific discourse. However, the impact of these phenomena on nature conservation remains understudied. This study provides an explorative overview of the potential relevance of digital echo chambers and filter bubbles for nature conservation practice. For this purpose, data collected during a literature review as well as a digital expert survey of German conservation actors was evaluated. The data show that the phenomena are already considered in conjunction with conservation topics with a focus on climate protection in the scientific literature and nature conservation practice to a small but increasing extent. Furthermore, it is recognized that they pose more risks than potential benefits for nature conservation communication. However, the understanding of the exact processes associated with digital echo chambers and filter bubbles is insufficient. The study also identified an extensive need for action and research regarding the strategic consideration and handling of digital echo chambers and filter bubbles in nature conservation practice. There is significant potential to improve the societal acceptance upon which nature conservation depends and to increase the public participation in nature conservation issues. To make a responsible and effective contribution to society, nature conservation must keep abreast of new communication factors that are emerging in the age of digitalization.

数字化世界中的自然保护：回声室和过滤气泡

数字回声室和过滤泡越来越成为社会、政治和科学讨论的主题。然而，这些现象对自然保护的影响仍未得到充分研究。这项研究提供了数字回声室和过滤气泡对自然保护实践的潜在相关性的探索性概述。为此，对文献综述以及对德国保护行动者的数字专家调查期间收集的数据进行了评估。数据显示，在科学文献和自然保护实践中，这些现象已经与保护主题结合起来考虑，重点是气候保护，但范围越来越小。此外，人们认识到，对于自然保护交流而言，它们带来的风险大于潜在利益。然而，对与数字回声室和过滤气泡相关的确切过程的了解是不够的。该研究还确定了在自然保护实践中对数字回声室和过滤气泡的战略考虑和处理方面的行动和研究的广泛需求。提高自然保护所依赖的社会接受度和增加公众对自然保护问题的参与具有巨大的潜力。为了对社会做出负责任和有效的贡献，自然保护必须跟上数字化时代出现的新传播因素。该研究还确定了在自然保护实践中对数字回声室和过滤气泡的战略考虑和处理方面的行动和研究的广泛需求。提高自然保护所依赖的社会接受度和增加公众对自然保护问题的参与具有巨大的潜力。为了对社会做出负责任和有效的贡献，自然保护必须跟上数字化时代出现的新传播因素。该研究还确定了在自然保护实践中对数字回声室和过滤气泡的战略考虑和处理方面的行动和研究的广泛需求。提高自然保护所依赖的社会接受度和增加公众对自然保护问题的参与具有巨大的潜力。为了对社会做出负责任和有效的贡献，自然保护必须跟上数字化时代出现的新传播因素。
