  3. “everything in conservation that is not about wildlife and habitats” Decker et al., 2012

  4. “Understanding private landowner attitudes towards free-ranging elk prior to reintroduction of the species in Great Smoky Mountain NP would help determine true carrying capacity.”

  5. “We would have been able to identify the balance between waterfowl population and habitat objectives in NAWMP if we had better knowledge of the hunting and birding communities’ respective desires.”

  6. Workshop Objectives 1. Learn the basics of human dimensions science. 2. Understand what we already know about “our people”. 3. Hear cases where we’ve successfully applied human dimensions science to conservation. 4. Practice what we’ve learned by talking through real-world scenarios. 5. Think about what comes next.

  7. Four Themes

  8. 1. Human dimensions science is, in fact, a science.
