Abstract

ABSTRACT Conservation efforts are shaped by individual and collective human behaviors, cultural norms and values, economic pressures, and political and organizational structures. As such, the conservation social sciences—disciplines that draw on social science theories and approaches to improve conservation efforts—can play a vital role in advancing the science and practice of bird conservation. We connect the rich, ongoing discussion about the vital role of the conservation social sciences to the specific context of bird conservation and make an argument for the importance of proactive inclusion of these sciences in ornithological societies. First, we introduce the conservation social sciences and illustrate how they can improve the design and implementation of conservation programs and policies for birds. Drawing on discussions from a symposium we organized at the 2019 American Ornithological Society (AOS) annual meeting, we encourage the AOS to make institutional changes that could further support the inclusion of conservation social sciences. These changes ideally would include a working group, conference plenaries and themes, and high-quality social science publications, along with support and encouragement for ornithologists and bird conservationists to partake in trainings and collaborate with social scientists. Strategies for how to do so effectively can be adapted from other conservation societies that have paved the way for disciplinary inclusivity. LAY SUMMARY The conservation social sciences investigate how people think and act in relation to biodiversity, including birds and the habitats that support them. Application of conservation social science findings can improve the effectiveness of bird conservation. he American Ornithological Society and its members can take specific steps to facilitate integration of the conservation social sciences with ornithology.
通过将保护社会科学纳入美国鸟类学会,促进科学知识和鸟类保护
摘要保护工作受到个人和集体人类行为、文化规范和价值观、经济压力以及政治和组织结构的影响。因此,保护社会科学——利用社会科学理论和方法来改进保护工作的学科——可以在推进鸟类保护的科学和实践方面发挥至关重要的作用。我们将关于保护社会科学的重要作用的丰富而持续的讨论与鸟类保护的具体背景联系起来,并论证了将这些科学积极纳入鸟类学社会的重要性。首先,我们介绍了保护社会科学,并说明了它们如何改进鸟类保护计划和政策的设计和实施。根据我们在2019年美国鸟类学会(AOS)年会上组织的研讨会的讨论,我们鼓励AOS进行体制改革,以进一步支持保护社会科学的纳入。理想情况下,这些变化将包括一个工作组、全体会议和主题、高质量的社会科学出版物,以及支持和鼓励鸟类学家和鸟类保护主义者参加培训并与社会科学家合作。如何有效地做到这一点的策略可以从其他为学科包容性铺平道路的保护社会中进行调整。LAY SUMMARY保护社会科学研究人们如何思考和行动与生物多样性有关,包括鸟类和支持它们的栖息地。应用保护社会科学发现可以提高鸟类保护的有效性。美国鸟类学会及其成员可以采取具体措施,促进保护社会科学与鸟类学的融合。

期刊介绍: The Condor is the official publication of the Cooper Ornithological Society, a non-profit organization of over 2,000 professional and amateur ornithologists and one of the largest ornithological societies in the world. A quarterly international journal that publishes original research from all fields of avian biology, The Condor has been a highly respected forum in ornithology for more than 100 years. The journal is one of the top ranked ornithology publications. Types of paper published include feature articles (longer manuscripts) Short Communications (generally shorter papers or papers that deal with one primary finding), Commentaries (brief papers that comment on articles published previously in The Condor), and Book Reviews.
