Next Steps

This PDF includes a synthesis of presentations and discussions that took place at the Engaging and Learning for Conservation Workshop on Public Participation in Scientific Research, held at the American Museum of Natural History on April 7 & 8, 2011. In this final set of workshop breakout sessions, participants learn about and discuss how they can become involved in activities beyond this workshop that will carry the field of PPSR forward. Those activities range from building a new association for PPSR, to addressing concerns about data management, to development of evaluation instruments to assess the impact of PPSR, to contributing to the growth and refinement of the citizenscience.org Toolkit steps and a new PPSR and conservation module for Tools of Engagement. The workshop concludes with a summary of the activities, highlights and key ideas over this two-day gathering, offered by PI Eleanor Sterling.
