With funding from the National Science Foundation, we have investigated cultural models of Nature held by food-producing groups who directly experience the effects of climate change, like farmers, fishermen, herders, and hunter-gatherers. We hope to better understand behaviors that could impact conservation and climate change policy implementation.

 

14 communities of food-producers in 14 countries on 6 continents are involved.

16 scholars are working on this research,

2 graduate students and 3 undergraduates assist them.
