متن کاملScience-Policy-Practice Interfaces: Emergent knowledge and monarch butterfly conservation
We study how knowledge is produced at the intersection of science, environmental policy and public engagement. Based on analysis of monarch butterfly conservation, we critically evaluate models of knowledge production. The monarch butterfly and its migration have engaged science and enchanted people for over a century, and current threats to monarchs catalyze debates and actions. This paper tra...
متن کاملImproving the Practice of Conservation: a Conceptual Framework and Research Agenda for Conservation Science
Effective conservation requires addressing three fundamental questions whose answers can only be sought in conservation practice: (1) What should our goals be and how do we measure progress in reaching them? (2) How can we most effectively take action to achieve conservation? and (3) How can we learn to do conservation better? This essay provides a conceptual framework and research agenda for a...
متن کاملOn Mismatches Between Ontologies
In this paper we discuss mismatches between two database schemes (here referred to as ontologies), produced for the UNIKb prototype. We present a (new) classification of system-communication mismatches after we discuss the occurrence of these mismatches between the Cardiff University and Liverpool University ontologies. Thereafter, we investigate to what extent the mismatches can be resolved. W...
