This report focuses on a mixed-method social science study that engaged stakeholders closely involved with management and conservation efforts across the sagebrush range in order to address the following research objectives:
- Assess the current state of knowledge in peer-reviewed literature regarding the human dimensions of sagebrush management and conservation.
- Understand and prioritize on-the-ground social science needs to inform management decisions and conservation actions.
- Compare our research findings with the realities stakeholders face in their work and discuss the integration of research priorities into decision-making contexts and processes through focus groups with resource managers and other practitioners working in sagebrush ecosystems.
