Outreach

Sharing our research results with leaders in communities, provides important benefits for diverse stakeholders, including: developers, conservationists, regulators and landowners. As we do this, we strive to mentor youth in ways that will stimulate and encourage them to consider careers at the interfaces between science and society.

Teaching

Our plan is to develop educational modules appropriate to "slot into" university courses, presenting results of the research at levels building from most basic to in-depth. The basic information will be designed to increase awareness of the tools, skills and knowledge that are available. The more in-depth materials will be designed for practitioners who want to use the information in the context of their jobs. We also hope to develop continuing education short courses for participants outside the university community.

Science

To provide a sound scientific basis for decision-making, results of this research will be published in peer reviewed journals. Since the research is interdisciplinary, we will publish in the journals of our respective disciplines of Conservation Biology and Environmental Anthropology, as well as journals integrating perspectives of ecology and society.
