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:

  1. Assess the current state of knowledge in peer-reviewed literature regarding the human dimensions of sagebrush management and conservation.
  2. Understand and prioritize on-the-ground social science needs to inform management decisions and conservation actions.
  3. 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.
