And if you want quality biodiversity data, cost-effectiveness, or local economic dev, it's always optimal to include community members. We're hoping to integrate more local communities into Mada park wildlife monitoring. Congrats to Lydia & Lalatiana who led this charge! (4/4)

Sampling from real data from 6 protected areas in Mada, we simulated different combos of wildlife surveys by Malagasy scientists (great observations, expensive) and Malagasy community members (good observations, inexpensive) to see what proportion scientist vs community yielded best outcomes (3/4)

Natural resource managers can have different (non-mutually exclusive) priorities: eg "eco-centric" that prioritizes knowledge of ecological outcomes, and "people-centric" that prioritizes socioeconomic development for local peoples. We can represent each with value functions...(2/4)

I’m pretty stubborn about avoiding graveyard projects, and so quite fulfilled to see this one through...even if almost a decade later than expected. Better late than never! And, recommend a visit to south Louisiana and LUMCON, I loved my time down in the swamp:
