Working Group Update | Human Dimensions
From | Shark News Issue 08 Written by | Hollie Booth and Dr Divya Karnad «Promoting the effective conservation of sharks, rays, and chimaeras requires attention to human interactions and relationships with these species. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Species Survival Commission (SSC) Shark Specialist Group’s (SSG) Human Dimensions Working Group (HDWG) is committed to supporting shark, ray, and chimaera research and conservation by recognizing the various ways in which humans interact with, have an impact on, and relate to these species. One way we achieve this is through short exposure and training workshops to promote interdisciplinary learning, including cultural beliefs, social attitudes, behavioural change, economics and knowledge about sharks, rays, and chimaeras, for diverse sections of society.

This is open to SSG and non-SSG members alike.» The following topics were covered:
