Welcome to the fourth international Pathways Conference! The theme of the 2014 conference is Integrating Human
Dimensions into Fish and Wildlife Management: Common Futures. We look forward to exploring this theme with all of you
this week in Estes Park, Colorado.
The common futures we face as a global society are complex and serious. Globalization and human population growth have
created a future that cannot be separated by political boundaries or even oceans. We cannot address the challenges of tomorrow
in the same ways we created them. We can and must address them more comprehensively by better integrating knowledge and
insights from human dimensions into governance of the Earth’s fish and wildlife resources.
This conference provides a forum where scientists and practitioners can address a wide variety of topics that are critical to
understanding the state of human dimensions science and application in the fish and wildlife profession. The conference kicks
off with a keynote presentations by Jianguo “Jack” Liu & Robin Reid who will discuss coupled human-natural systems and
collaborative approaches to fish and wildlife management. After our keynote presenters you can look forward to 8 symposium
sessions throughout the conference which are lead by conservation leaders in the non-profit, government, and academic
sectors. These symposium sessions are surrounded by an engaging array of lectures throughout the week by researchers and
practitioners from 23 countries. Coupled with valuable evening socials that offer an opportunity to network with Pathways
250+ participants these presentations provide a platform to address the myriad issues that arise as people and wildlife struggle
to coexist in a sustainable and healthy manner.

Lessons from collaborative conservation in the US and Africa
Robin Reid: Director, Center for Collaborative Conservation, Professor, Department of
Ecosystem Science and Sustainability and Senior Research Scientist, the Natural Resource
Ecology Laboratory, Warner College of Natural Resources, Colorado State University
Biography: Robin Reid is the Director of the endowed Center for Collaborative
Conservation, Professor in the Department of Ecosystem Science and Sustainability, and a
Senior Scientist at the Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory at Colorado State University.
For the last 27 years, she has led education, research and outreach projects in the drylands
of Africa, Asia and North America. Her current work focuses on how to transform
international higher education to be more inclusive of under-represented groups and
more useful for local problem solving. Her research focuses on how collaborative
governance at the community level works around the world and its social and ecological
outcomes. From 1992-2007, she lived and worked in east Africa, doing research with
pastoral peoples, on the social and ecological sustainability of their ecosystems. Her
team of researchers and pastoralists won the 2012 Sustainability Science Award from the
Ecological Society of America, for their paper describing their efforts to make science
useful to local communities and policy makers.

CSU Warner College of Natural Resources
For more than a century Colorado State University’s Warner College of Natural Resources has played
a leadership role in research, teaching, training and technical assistance related to the understand-
ing and management of the world’s natural resources. Within the college, the Department of Human
Dimensions of Natural Resources focuses on understanding and attending to the needs and values of
humans, human society, and culture as it relates to the natural environment. Warner College faculty
pioneered efforts in the study and application of human dimensions of natural resources (HDNR) in
the early 1970’s and by 1992 they established a “Human Dimensions of Natural Resources Unit” which
is now the Department of Human Dimensions of Natural Resources. The mission of the Department of
Human Dimensions of Natural Resources is to contribute to the conservation, stewardship and enjoy-
ment of natural and cultural resources and the management of those resources in a way that produces
both land health and sustainable human benefits. The Department offers a MS and a PhD in the Human
Dimensions of Natural Resources, Tourism Management, and Leadership Conservation. Four con-
centrations are offered in the undergraduate program: Protected Areas Management, Global Tourism,
Natural Resource Recreation and Tourism, and Environmental Communication. The department is
one of seven programs in the United States that offers a comprehensive bachelor’s, masters, and doc-
toral programs.

Measuring the economic benefits of ecosystem services and the impacts of management:
Applications to recreational fishing
Richard Melstorm, Salisbury University
Presenters: Wendong Zhang (Ohio State University), Frank Lupi (Michigan State University), & Andrew Seid
(Colorado State University)
Monday October 6th at 10:30am-12:00am
Session: A3 Room: Assembly Hall A
This session brings together research on the economics of recreational fishing with a focus on the behavioral responses
of anglers to changes in ecosystem services and management policies. The role of human dimensions research in solving
coupled natural and human conflicts is especially important in fisheries. Estimates suggest that there are about 50 million
anglers in the United States, which makes recreational fishing one of the most popular outdoor activities in the country
(USFWS, 2012). However, the quality of sport fisheries is constantly threatened by stressors such as overharvesting, invasive
species, water quality and climate change, all of which are caused by human activity (Allan, 2004; Ficklin et al., 2013).
Fisheries managers address these problems largely through the use of angler regulations. Unfortunately, human dimensions
research has not kept pace with the growth in these challenges (Hunt et al., 2013). Economic analysis can provide useful
insights into how management policies affect angler behavior and the economic value of a fishery (i.e. ecosystem services)
but there remains a substantial gap between this capability and applied knowledge. The purpose of this session is to present
applied research analyzing the link between anglers, management policies and the economic value of fisheries. The session
features a diverse collection of papers on the economics of recreational fishing. The contributions address challenges in
different regions of the United States, spanning both coastal and inland fisheries. Furthermore, each paper studies a unique
problem in human dimensions research that includes the impacts of: new gear restrictions to reduce release mortality,
bait restrictions to slow disease spread, fish biomass as a measure of fishing quality and algal blooms impairing the fishing
experience. Knowing how anglers react in each of the cases is important because it allows managers to determine whether
fisheries’ policies are effective. There are useful linkages between the contributing papers beyond the common theme. The
first two papers focus on the impacts of fishing restrictions to improve the quality of the fishery. The third and fourth papers
address trans-boundary problems that are each part of larger, joint biological-economic modeling efforts. Furthermore, all
four papers use methods that allow estimation of the economic benefits that would flow from improvements in the quality
of the fishery. By providing insights into human values and behavior vis-à-vis the environment, the session’s papers aim to
provide the information on human behavior and ecosystem services that can be used to improve fisheries decision-making.
Human Dimensions of Harvest Reporting
Craig Miller, Illinois Natural History Survey
Presenters: Brent Williams (Illinois Natural History Survey - University of Illinois), Andrew Stephenson (Illinois
Natural History Survey), Peter Fritzell, Jr. (Iowa Department of Natural Resources), & Chelsea Krause (South
Dakota Game, Fish & Parks)
Monday October 6th at 3:30pm-5:00pm
Session: C4 Room: Diamond West
Accurate harvest reporting is essential for managing wildlife game species. Managers depend on harvest estimates for vari-
ous parameters of species management: determine population sizes, set daily bag and season limits, and define quotas. This
symposium will explore human dimensions of hunter harvest reporting. Presentations will focus on recall and estimation
bias, digit preference and heaping, and other aspects of harvest reporting in an effort to assist managers in improving surveys
to provide precise harvest estimates

Building Common Futures for Western Wildlife through Socio-Ecological Science
Rebecca Garvoille, Denver Zoo
Presenters: Brian Miller (Denver Zoo), Mike Phillips (Ted Turner Endangered Species Fund), Eric Odell (Colorado
Parks and Wildlife), Amy Masching (Denver Zoo), & Elizabeth Metcalf (University of Montana),
Tuesday October 7th at 8:30am-10:30am
Session: D3 Room: Assembly Hall A
Human values, governance structures, cultures and livelihoods shape wildlife management and restoration initiatives across
the globe in ecosystems deemed critical for conservation. In North America, such human dimensions form an integral facet
of the transboundary wildlife reintroduction and conservation challenges currently unfolding in the ecosystems that com-
prise the Rocky Mountain and Great Plains’ ecoregions. Importantly, the social and ecological contexts for wildlife conserva-
tion in these places are growing increasingly complex, dynamic and site-specific as challenging cross-jurisdictional politics,
shifting demographics, climate change, evolving social values and land development redefine regional ecologies and wildlife
futures. Prime examples include wild bison conservation in Greater Yellowstone, gray wolf reintroduction in the Southern
Rockies and species migration projects across the increasingly fragmented Rocky Mountain and Great Plains landscapes.
This highly dynamic New West spurs novel questions and debates about where focal wildlife species “belong,” what they
mean for local people and other stakeholders, as well as if and how we should manage them, and for whose benefit. While it
is clear that successful transboundary wildlife conservation in this New West must consider a broader range of different and
dynamic social and ecological factors, questions remain about how to best design and implement this new type of “situated”
conservation work at a project scale. Drawing upon compelling examples from the field, symposium presenters will describe
how scientists and conservationists study the dynamic, and often multi-scalar, ecological, socio-economic, political and legal
factors that affect transboundary wildlife conservation efforts across the Rocky Mountains and Great Plains. Presenters will
discuss best practices and methods, including the applied value of project-specific socio-ecological assessments. Ultimately,
the proposed symposium discussion will highlight key approaches and critical tools for conservationists to build upon as
they work towards more nimble, integrated and effective transboundary wildlife conservation initiatives in the contemporary
American West.
Partnerships and the City: Connecting Urban Residents to Wildlife and Nature
Danielle Ross-Winslow, United States Fish and Wildlife Service
Heather Jerue, United States Fish & Wildlife Service
Presenters: Marcia Pradines (USFWS), Alia Dietsch (USGS and Ohio State University), Chantel Jimenez (U.S. Fish and Wild-
life Service), Nancy Finley (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service)
Tuesday October 7th at 1:00pm-3:00pm
Session: F3 Room: Assembly Hall A
America’s demographics are changing in significant ways: trends show that the population is aging, becoming more diverse,
and the number of people living below the poverty line is rising. These trends are most prominent in urban areas where the
majority of the population now lives. In 2009, the 100 largest metro areas contained 66% of the total U.S. population and 77%
of all non-whites and Hispanics. Changes in the population are having, and will continue to have, socioeconomic implica-
tions that will impact policy and the delivery of goods and services, including conservation delivery and access to natural
areas. With the majority of Americans living in cities, how do we connect urban America with our wild places? Americans
will have much of their direct contact with nature while in an urban setting, thereby shaping the nation’s conservation values,
ethics, and priorities. How do we teach a new generation to love the land when pavement is what they usually see? How do
we help children find inspiration in nature all around them when they spend so much time indoors and plugged in? These
are some of the challenges many agencies and organizations face. This session addresses how one agency, the U.S. Fish &
Wildlife Service, is holistically working on engaging urban audiences and creating a connected conservation constituency
through partnerships. Our future success in meeting conservation goals is inextricably tied to our success in building and
maintaining support for conservation among groups that represent the diversity of the American public. This requires work-
ing beyond the physical borders of National Wildlife Refuges and working in partnership with other agencies and organiza-
tions. Format: Five speakers will present on various aspects of the work being done by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in
urban areas. Each speaker will have 20 minutes to present and take questions from the audience. Session organizers will then
facilitate a 20 minute discussion with all presenters and the audience.

HD.gov 2.0: An Interagency Web Portal on the Human Dimensions of Natural Resource Management
Rudy Schuster, United States Geological Survey
Co-Organizers: Thomas E. Fish (NPS CESU), Lance Everette (USGS), Holly Miller (USGS), Kyle Poorman (USGS), Fred Clark (USDA
Forest Service), Natalie Sexton (USFWS), Lindsay Brady( USFWS), James G Cantrill (Northern Michigan University), Marilyn TenBrink
(Environmental Protection Agency) Jeffery Adkins (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), & Bret Meldrum (National Park
Service)
Tuesday October 7th at 3:30pm-5:00pm
Session: G4 Room: Diamond West
The HD.Gov (HumanDimensions.gov) website was conceptualized in collaboration with NOAA, the Forest Service, National
Park Service, and other agencies with the intention of providing public access to federal agency social science resources.
Originally developed and hosted by NOAA, during the winter of 2011 the USGS Fort Collins Science Center worked with
NOAA staff to migrate the HD.Gov database, application, and website to a USGS hosting center. HD.gov provides a credible,
reliable human dimensions web portal that connects two distinct communities, those who develop social science information
and tools, and the natural resource managers who need the information and tools. HD.gov is a collaboration of government,
academic and nongovernmental organizations that enables partners to submit, peer review and distribute social science
content. Released in May 2014, version 2 of HD.gov builds on this foundation providing two new key features. First, HD.gov
implements a new, enterprise-class content management framework, improving security and expanding the content life cycle
management features available to users. Second, HD.gov 2.0 expands the content management options to include human
dimensions subsites for partner agencies and communities of practice. Through these subsites, partner agencies and com-
munities of practice can more effectively collaborate within their research teams, as well as better communicate and distrib-
ute their agency’s human dimensions products outside of their research teams. This session invites interested participants to
learn more about HD.gov, ask questions, offer suggestions, and explore the various opportunities to become involved in the
development of this cooperative human dimensions information resource. The first part of the session will include a presen-
tation about the HD.gov portal’s purpose, history, and current status, followed by a demonstration of the content manage-
ment system and key features of the HD.gov content management workflow. The second part of the session will include an
open discussion of how HD.gov can best meet the needs of the human dimensions community and brainstorming of ideas
for future development of HD.gov.
Toward Socially Acceptable Carnivore Management
Jeremy Bruskotter, Ohio State University
Presenters: Michelle L. Lute (Michigan State University), Carly Sponarski (Illinois Natural History Survey), Carly Sponarski
(Illinois Natural History Survey), David Fulton (U.S. Geological Survey Minnesota Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research
Unit), Lou Cornicelli (Mn DNR; University of Minnesota), & Kristina Slagle, Jeremy Bruskotter (Ohio State University)
Wednesday October 8th at 8:30am-10:30pm
Session: H1 Room: Assembly Hall C
After more than a century of persecution, efforts to conserve and restore large carnivores in the United States have met with
a number of recent successes, prompting the US Fish and Wildlife Service to attempt to remove federal Endangered Species
Act protections for some populations (e.g., wolves, grizzly bears). Meanwhile, other carnivores (e.g., cougar, coyote) expand-
ed their range without federal protections. Yet long-term conservation of carnivores remains tenuous, and efforts are often
impeded by public controversy and human intolerance. Lethal management of carnivores has proven particularly contro-
versial, even in regions where these species are secure. Such controversies challenge state management agencies, and could
impede efforts to adapt agency governance and policies to a changing social environment that includes diversifying inter-
ests. Agencies are also sometimes ‘hamstrung’ in carnivore conservation by state legislatures who have ultimate control over
policy and may act independent of the best available science. This symposium brings together scholars who explore public
attitudes toward carnivores and their management, including motivations for hunting and trapping of these species, with the
over arching goal of illuminating pathways toward socially acceptable carnivore management.

Public Trust Philosophy for Fish and Wildlife Management: Implications for Human Dimensions
Ann Forstchen, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission
Presenters:Sadie Stevens (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service), Emily Pomeranz (Cornell University - Human Dimensions
Research Unit), & Brent Rudolph (Michigan State University)
Wednesday October 8th at 1:00pm-3:00pm
Session: J2 Room: Assembly Hall B
In the wake of growing parallel interests in the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation and transformation of state
fish and wildlife agencies, the importance of the “public trust doctrine” as the legal foundation and over arching philosophy
guiding wildlife management is being revisited and reinvigorated. According to this doctrine, fish and wildlife in the U.S.
belong to all citizens, inclusive of current and future generations, and are managed by governments as public trust resources
for their benefit. Decker et al. (2013) identified four key administration principles for fish and wildlife management arising
from the public trust doctrine. Fish and wildlife managers and human dimensions specialists should explore these and
other questions related to how human dimensions research and stakeholder-engagement practice can contribute to good
governance traits of accountability, transparency, and fairness without privileging one set of stakeholders over another.
What are the Limitations of Public Trust Thinking for Fish and Wildlife Conservation?
Darragh Hare, Cornell University - Department of Natural Resources
Daniel Decker, Cornell University - Human Dimensions Research Unit
Panelists: Chris Smith (Wildlife Management Institute, USA), Dr. Cynthia Jacobson (United States Fish and Wildlife Service),
Dr. Heidi Kretser (Wildlife Conservation Society, USA), & Dr. Shawn Riley (Partnership for Ecosystem Research and Management,
Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, Michigan State University)
Wednesday October 8th at 3:30pm-5:00pm
Session: K2 Room: Assembly Hall B
This panel session will critically examine the capacity of public trust thinking (PTT) to provide a foundation for fish and
wildlife governance in the 21st Century. It will reflect growing scholarly and practitioner attention to PTT and will comple-
ment ongoing efforts to explore and develop PTT in the context of fish and wildlife governance. PTT is a philosophical
orientation towards natural resource conservation and use characterized by commitments to fair access, public accountability
and intergenerational equity. The session will begin with a 15-minute presentation on the principles of PTT, summarizing an
article in a forthcoming special issue of Human Dimensions of Wildlife on public trust governance. This presentation will
set the stage for discussion by a panel of wildlife professionals from diverse organizational perspectives and invite critical
engagement by those attending the session. Development and application of public trust thinking will require concerted at-
tention from agency professionals, human dimensions scholars and the broader fish and wildlife management community.
This session seeks to provide a forum in which conference attendees with all levels of knowledge and expertise in public trust
governance can share experiences, insights and ideas in order to identify the opportunities and challenges PTT presents. The
session will allow those with limited previous exposure to learn about recent developments in public trust scholarship and
practice. It will allow those who have been leading these developments to communicate their progress and to learn from the
wealth of insights and perspectives that characterizes Pathways to Success conference attendees.
This session complements the symposium session on public trust philosophy for fish and wildlife governance organized by
Ann Forstchen and Emily Pomeranz. It reflects growing attention to public trust governance among fish and wildlife profes-
sionals. It builds upon discussions of public trust governance during previous Pathways to Success conferences.
