Human Dimensions (People and Nature)
Human dimensions in wildlife research explores how people’s values, behaviors, and decisions shape conservation outcomes. Understanding these social factors is essential for effective management, reducing conflict, and building support for wildlife protection. It helps bridge science and communities to create sustainable, long‑lasting conservation solutions.
