OVERVIEW
In this webinar, we will summarize a recently completed synthesis report on social science related to Central Grasslands conservation efforts, funded by the tri-national Commission for Environmental Cooperation. We conducted a grassland conservation social science literature review, a synthesis of pre-existing producer surveys to understand the challenges and opportunities for conservation in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, and a social science needs assessment and prioritization effort with conservation delivery professionals. These efforts informed a broader integration plan that identifies information and knowledge gaps and opportunities for social science integration into grassland conservation delivery to more effectively address the decline of the Central Grasslands. We will end the presentation with a discussion of how to put our recommendations into action and ensure future collaboration and coordination across social science and conservation delivery.
