Abstract Conservationists are increasingly convinced that coproduction of science enhances its utility in policy, decision-making, and practice. Concomitant is a renewed reliance on privately owned working lands to sustain nature and people. We propose a coupling of these emerging trends as a better recipe for conservation. To illustrate this, we present five elements of coproduction, contrast how they differ from traditional approaches, and describe the role of scientists in successful partnerships. Readers will find coproduction more demanding than the loading dock approach to science delivery but will also find greater rewards, relevance, and impact. Because coproduction is novel and examples of it are rare, we draw on our roles as scientists within the US Department of Agriculture–led Sage Grouse Initiative, North America's largest effort to conserve the sagebrush ecosystem. As coproduction and working lands evolve, traditional approaches will be replaced in order to more holistically meet the needs of nature and people.

共同生产科学以告知工作土地：自然保护的下一个前沿

摘要 保护主义者越来越相信，科学的共同生产增强了其在政策、决策和实践中的效用。随之而来的是重新依赖私人拥有的工作土地来维持自然和人类。我们建议将这些新兴趋势结合起来，作为更好的保护方法。为了说明这一点，我们提出了共同生产的五个要素，对比了它们与传统方法的不同之处，并描述了科学家在成功合作中的作用。读者会发现联合制作比科学交付的装卸码头方法要求更高，但也会发现更大的回报、相关性和影响。因为联合生产是新颖的，而且例子很少，所以我们利用我们在美国农业部领导的北美鼠尾草计划中的科学家角色' 保护山艾树生态系统的最大努力。随着联合生产和耕地的发展，传统方法将被取代，以便更全面地满足自然和人类的需求。
