It Works Both Ways: How Scientists and Managers Join Forces to Conserve Today’s Natural Resources
“Too many people fail to realize that real communication goes in both directions.” Lee Iacocca spoke these wise words about the
failings of business, but clearly there is a lesson here for management of natural resources as well. Scientists are doing research
every day that improves our understanding of our valued resources. But work does not stop at simply conducting an experiment,
but needs to include effective communication of results that are relevant to managers. Scientists listen closely to what managers
have to say and design studies to address questions across the diverse array of issues that challenge management goals today.
