Conference Target Audience
This conference targets practitioners who are directly involved in the human aspects of management of fish and wildlife; for example, professionals and agency personnel involved in:
- policy-making
- human wildlife conflict situations
- education / communication
- facilitating stakeholder processes
- regulatory processes
- NGO management
- community opinion leaders.
We expect strong attendance from North Americans, but are particularly interested in ensuring representation from an international audience of practitioners.
The conference is also intended for (a) scientists, (b) academics, and (c) students involved in the social science aspects of fisheries and wildlife management. It is our intention that a broad cross-section of social science disciplines is represented (e.g., anthropology, geography, psychology, sociology). As with the practitioner group, the goal here is to ensure strong representation from the international scientific community.
