The Catalog of Conservation Social Science Tools is a product of the SSWG Conservation Committee. Catalog development was led by Rodolfo Tello (WWF-US Intern and University of Maryland, College Park), in consultation with Diane Russell (USAID and SSWG Conservation Committee Chair) and Mike Mascia (WWF-US and SSWG President). Financial support was provided by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, with in-kind support provided by WWF-US Conservation Science Program and the SCB Executive Office.
The Catalog of Conservation Social Science Tools builds on the previous work of different groups, including:
- Social Science Tools for Conservation Practitioners: Current Opportunities and Future Directions (2005). SSWG Workshop. SCB annual meeting; Brasilia, Brazil.
- Putting conservation in Context: Social Science Tools for Conservation Practitioners (2003). CD-ROM. Community Conservation Coalition. Washington, DC.
- People and Priority Setting: Social Science Tools and Information for Conservation Portfolios (2006). CD-ROM. Conservation Strategies Conference / The Nature Conservancy. Austin, TX.
- Assessment of guidance documents available (2005). Sheila O’Connor, Conservation Measures and Audit, WWF International. Institutional document in process.
