The Rangelands Roundtable undertaking projects that evaluate connections between community attachment/satisfaction and support for programs and policies relating to regional and local conservation issues, such as climate change and endangered species. Our overall goal is to evaluate natural environment satisfaction and dimensions of overall community attachment within sample communities to assess their interactions with ongoing conservation efforts. Our idea is to provide a non-monetary metric of attachment/satisfaction to help assess potential social benefits of conservation efforts, including their distribution and the effectiveness of their delivery to specific communities. In the end, we hope to develop a community attachment/satisfaction assessment framework that is applicable to a broad array of topical questions of conservation effectiveness and policy impacts.
