Abstract:
The Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956 (16 U.S.C. 742d) designates the Department of the Interior as a key agency responsible for the conservation and protection of wildlife and fisheries resources in the United States (U.S.). This responsibility dictates that we gather accurate data on conservation efforts through means such as research to improve the development, management, and advancement of efforts. At the June 2022, Monarch Butterfly Summit, the Secretary of Interior announced that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) would establish a national Center for Pollinator Conservation (Center), funded through annual appropriations. The Center would serve as a science and collaboration hub across internal Service programs and regions as well as with external agencies and partners. It would help direct conservation actions that can reverse declining pollinator population trends. The Center is seeking to conduct a social network analysis to collect information regarding the structure and functions of pollinator networks throughout the country, key influencers and network clusters, network gaps, and the diffusion of information across the broad pollinator conservation community. The proposed survey collects information necessary to support the Center’s role as a science and collaboration hub helping inform evidence-based decisions to create, sustain, and strengthen relationships and communication channels across individuals and organizations to increase awareness of, collaboration on, and efficacy of pollinator conservation efforts.
