Marcel Züger

biologist Switzerland

Marcel Züger is a Swiss biologist known for his controversial views on biodiversity and environmental conservation. He gained attention for opposing the Biodiversity Initiative and publishing a study that downplayed the severity of biodiversity loss in Switzerland, leading to significant backlash from environmental groups. Züger has criticized both environmental organizations for their management of protected areas and government budget cuts to nature conservation, arguing that these cuts threaten essential ecological efforts. His outspoken approach and critique of what he calls the 'nature conservation industry' have positioned him as a polarizing figure in the ongoing debates over environmental policy in Switzerland.
