Reminder CALL FOR ABSTRACTS Human Dimensions of Animal Translocation special issue in Frontiers in Conservation Sciences
Adriana Consorte-McCrea
Dear colleagues
This is a reminder that the Call for Abstracts of Human Dimensions of Animal Translocations in Frontiers in Conservation Science is February 28th! Thank you if have already registered your interest, and we look forward to reviewing your contributions.
Human dimension issues are commonly overseen or treated lightly in translocation projects, even though the success or failure of the project is intimately tied to community involvement, peers acceptance and the support from interest groups. The IUCN/SSC CTRG Human-Wildlife Interactions Working Group and members from an international community of practitioners, researchers and academics have been discussing these issues for the last 3 years. We have discussed topics such as positive and negative aspects of human-wildlife interactions, the effect of domestic and feral dogs on conservation translocations, seeking support of religious leaders, ethical issues involved in reintroduction into anthropogenic landscapes, involving all interest groups in project planning and stewardship, and exit strategies.
We would like to invite you to submit and abstract and manuscript to this special issue- submission deadlines: Abstract: 28 Feb 2021 ¦ Manuscript: 30 June 2021. Themes to consider are how to investigate, measure and include the various aspects of human dimensions into a project from its planning and implementation to the exit stages. We plan to write one article as a group, and would like to invite colleagues working with a wide array of topics concerning human-wildlife interactions in conservation translocations to submit contributions. To submit your abstract or paper, and for more information please visit the Human Dimensions of Animal Translocations page in Frontiers in Conservation Science.
Please find us on Facebook page @Human-Wildlife Interactions in Reintroductions to share news, events, your opinion, notes of interest and photos! Our previous documents, including papers recommended by participants, and reports from previous meetings, can still be found in our Dropbox folder. You may access it by following the link IUCN CTSG Human Wildlife Interactions files, where you will find subfolders with resources for each of the topics addressed so far. Also, find our group updates in Researchgate https://www.researchgate.net/project/IUCN-SSC-RSG-Human-and-Wildlife-Interaction
If you are new to the group or have questions, suggestions or would like to contact us, please send an email to adriana.con...@canterbury.ac.uk directly and I’ll be happy to respond.
Best wishes
