Engaging the public in scientific research for conservationCitizenScience.org
Public participation in scientific research (PPSR) refers to initiatives in which the public is involved in one or more phases of scientific research – from defining questions to using results – and encompasses citizen science, participatory monitoring, community science, and a variety of other endeavors and approaches. PPSR offers significant opportunities for conservation by addressing the increasing demand for information and the need for action, from identifying species at risk, to interpreting data for policy and management, to increasing public understanding and stewardship of the natural environment. For such research partnerships to advance goals for all involved, it is essential to better understand factors that influence specific outcomes and impacts. Conservation scientists and practitioners, resource managers, academics, community and project leaders, educators, land stewards, and others gathered to discuss key issues for PPSR in relation to conservation goals at a workshop at the American Museum of Natural History in April 2011.
This group identified key challenges, facilitating factors, and best practices for PPSR to have greater relevance for conservation questions and outcomes, including generating data that is relevant and meaningful, reaching and engaging new audiences, and implementing processes that integrate conventional science and other forms of knowledge. This paper will present tools and recommendations derived from the workshop that contribute to advancing the field of PPSR by addressing science, education, and conservation goals.
This talk was presented at the 2011 meetings of the International Symposium on Society and Resource Management (Madison, WI) and the Ecological Society of America (Austin, TX).

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

Abstract 7
Kaitlyn Rieper
Valenti, Joann M., and GaugauTavana. “Report: Continuing Science Education for
Environmental Journalists and Science Writers: In Situ with the Experts.” Science
Communication 27, no. 2 (December 1, 2005): 300–310.
2. PURPOSE
Science education through experts for veteran environmental journalists
Who, what, when, where and how of science
Journalists reported still needing training despite already having graduate training
NationalTropical Botanical Gardens Environmental Journalism Fellows Program
in Kauai, Hawaii (1999)
Authors both directors of NTBG
One began the Society of Environmental Journalists
Journalists apply for the week-long training and are chosen based on potential to
reach wide audiences
3. METHOD
Create a general thematic syllabus for the course with a different theme each day
tropical biodiversity, plant and animal interaction, habitats, plants, and medicine;
conservation, collecting, propagating, restoration; ethnobotany, plants, people, and
culture; and ocean-forest links
Experts come in and teach
Classes each day begin in a garden classroom then move into the field
Focus on real life experiences and connections
Journalists asked to create a legacy report, rate the program, and fill out a semi-
structured survey
4. OUTCOMES
First 7 years of the program
Journalists learn to work more as a team and must produce a final team product
for each day
Separation from western viewpoints
Recognized relationships between indigenous peoples and ecosystems
Journalists from 18 US states,Africa, Sweden, Denmark, Ukraine, Australia,
Singapore and Canada
Real-world context – plant that the treatment for HIV was derived from
In-field experience was the most helpful
5. CONCLUSIONS & CRITIQUE
Journalists reported that the program was helpful and aided their understanding
of the science
The program is successful in educating veteran journalists
The reports allow the directors to determine faults and better the program for
future journalists
Hawaii is a perfect location as it is the capital of extinction in the US and more
than half of the native flora is endangered
Allowed journalists to see reality – Hawaii is not pristine
Needed more identification of themes in the legacy reports
Failed to explain how the rating and the survey were evaluated
