  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Fusing Science and Ethics: Tools for Natural Resource Educators Author: Vucetich, John, Nagel, Linda, Nelson, Michael Natural resource educators are beginning to appreciate that formal critical thinking and ethical reasoning skills are not only important but absolutely necessary tools for the 21st century natural resource professional (both scientist and manager). However, given a historic lack of formal ethical reasoning within natural resource curricula combined with the separation of the sciences from the humanities over the past 100 years, a full embracing of ethics into natural resource curricula meets with resistance. One challenge associated with incorporating ethical reasoning into natural resource curricula appears to come from a misunderstanding of the very nature of ethics. While a certain characterization of ethics makes it appear to be at odds with science, intractable, and easy to dismiss, there are ways to characterize ethics and therefore allow for ethical discourse within the natural resource curricula that melds the two in a useful way. Another challenge involves the manner in which one recognizes, confronts, and works through ethical dilemmas. We address this problem by presenting some real-world examples amenable to ethical discourse and demonstrate how to work through at least two circumstances that are familiar to wildlife and forestry professionals. Finally, we suggest a minimal set of critical thinking and ethical reasoning skills that are crucial for the education of future natural resource professionals.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: A culturally appropriate, partnership-based natural resource education program on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation Author: Vergun, Judith Richardson A natural resource science education program for members of the Warm Springs Indian Reservation was designed and developed in partnership with tribal members. The intent of the project was to create a culturally relevant program supported by culturally reflective educational materials which met local needs. The goal of the project was to provide an on-reservation, partnership-based natural resource education program for the purpose of developing understanding between Indians and non-Indians about natural resource education, science, and management strategies. The program was taught on-reservation. Respect and understanding of some cultural differences between Indians and Euro-Americans occurred, and tribal members gained an understanding of the Euro- American view of the science behind natural resource management. The program was considered a success in both short-, and long-term gains. Short-term gains included a 16.30% increase in short-term knowledge gained in coursework sessions where this was measured. Long-term gains included providing a guideline for the design of the 1991 OSU/Warm Springs Memorandum of Understanding, the on-reservation application of coursework knowledge gained, an increase in tribal member's interest in natural resource science education, and the design of an exportable model for university/reservation natural resource science education programs.
