What is Science to Implementation?
Science from the IWJV and partners is essential to the conservation of wetlands and sagebrush rangelands across the Intermountain West. However, there is often a gap between the production of that science and putting the information to work on the ground. The IWJV addresses this challenge by helping partners assess science and capacity needs in order to develop new tools and communication strategies to ensure science is translated into action.
