WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES1. 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.
