A couple weeks ago I posed a question on this email list that we at conservation news service Mongabay.com lacked the expertise to answer, and I got a huge response, many of which suggested I contact the University of Maryland’s National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center <http://www.sesync.org/>. So for the latest episode of our podcast, we spoke with Steven Alexander who's with SESC and the Stockholm Resilience Center. He answers this question submitted by a Mongabay reader: *“What areas or questions in socio-ecological research need the most attention over the next decade?” *
Listen for Steven's answer(s) from minute 17 on: https://news.mongabay.com/2016/10/mongabay-newscast-episode-3-crucial-conservation-votes-at-cites-cop17-and-the-future-of-socio-ecological-research/ Thanks to everyone for all the useful resources and comments! Speaking of, please do leave a comment on the audio page above to continue this conversation.
