Challenges and Opportunities for Social Science in Conservation Action

Organizers: Peter Brosius, Helen Fox, and John Parks (pbrosius@uga.edu)

The workshop will identify ways in which the social sciences, and the newly formed SCB Social Science Working Group in particular, can strengthen current and future conservation efforts. Presentations will be made on: 1) Results of a survey of social and natural scientists' perceptions of barriers to interdisciplinary collaboration on conservation research and implementation 2) A review of the 11 recommendations/action items from the 2003 SCB Workshop on Conservation Biology and the Social Sciences and 3) An update on progress made since the 2003 meeting. Workshop participants will brainstorm new, action-oriented goals, develop a set of recommendations, and agree on action items for the SSWG.
