Who Cares What We Do?
This group will focus on the wider potential and implications of our work for modern resource management, outreach, heritage, education, and involvement of local communities as active partners in global science. A major concern of the workshop will be to share and improve approaches to communicating our specific results and the wider importance of a combined social science/ natural science approach to understanding and attempting to manage oncoming rapid global change. We also want to use the excitement of field science to widen horizons of young people both in our study areas and at home, and get them directly involved in global change science while helping to preserve and mobilize TEK.
