Participation, social capital and gender in sea turtle conservation, northeast Brazil

"Increasing participation in conservation programs is viewed as necessary in today's world; however, more knowledge is needed regarding how to engage communities. This dissertation aims to deconstruct participation by exploring community-level social capital, gender differences, and their potential influence on attitudes and participation in conservation programs. Instead of solely evaluating current participation and participants in conservation programs, this study employs the conceptualization of social capital (networks, trust, and norms) to examine both conservation and non-conservation related participation in four communities along the northern coast of Bahia, Brazil."--From abstract.
