In this Award from the NSF Science, Engineering and Education for Sustainability Fellows (SEES Fellows Program) Dr. Mary E. Blair from the American Museum of Natural History will carry out genetic measurements of slow lorises combined with socioeconomic studies of those people involved in the trade of these animals. This award has support from: the Biology Directorate, the Directorate for Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences, and the Office of International and Integrative Activities.The proposed work will combine genetic information from slow lorises as well as socioeconomic data for individuals involved in the trade of these species, to test the hypothesis that the trade in these species is concentrated in Vietnam, which serves as a major transit market for trade within Southeast Asia and to study whether regional and international demand are more important than local factors in driving this trade. The work is unique in that it integrates socioeconomic and biological analyses at multiple scales to develop a better understanding of wildlife trade.The aim of studies like that proposed in this work is to better understand the socioeconomic drivers that influence the trade in wildlife. The ultimate aim of work like this is to better inform policy makers about the underlying social and economic drivers of this trade, with an eye towards developing sustainable management strategies to mitigate the threat to species from this trade. Dr. Blair will be working with collaborators Dr. Eleanor J. Sterling of the Center for Biodiversity and Conservation at the American Museum of Natural History, Prof. Gautam Sethi at Bard College's Center for Environmental Policy and Dr. Minh D. Le from the Centre for Natural Resources and Environmental Studies at Vietnam National University. Dr. Blair will also be mentoring young students in this project, and she will develop outreach materials for use in the United States and Vietnam.This project is supported under the NSF Science, Engineering and Education for Sustainability Fellows (SEES Fellows) program, with the goal of helping to enable discoveries needed to inform actions that lead to environmental, energy and societal sustainability while creating the necessary workforce to address these challenges. With SEES Fellows support, this project will enable a promising early career researcher to establish themselves in an independent research career related to sustainability.

在这项由 NSF 科学、工程和可持续发展教育研究员（SEES 研究员计划）授予的奖项中，美国自然历史博物馆的 Mary E. Blair 博士将对懒猴进行基因测量，并结合对参与这些动物贸易的人们的社会经济学研究。 该奖项得到了生物理事会、社会、行为和经济科学理事会以及国际和综合活动办公室的支持。拟议的工作将结合懒猴的遗传信息以及参与这些物种贸易的个人的社会经济数据，以检验这些物种的贸易集中在越南（越南是东南亚贸易的主要中转市场）的假设，并研究区域和国际需求是否更重要 而非推动这一贸易的当地因素。这项工作的独特之处在于它整合了多个尺度的社会经济和生物学分析，以更好地了解野生动物贸易。这项工作中提出的此类研究的目的是更好地了解影响野生动物贸易的社会经济驱动因素。 此类工作的最终目的是让政策制定者更好地了解该贸易的潜在社会和经济驱动因素，着眼于制定可持续管理战略，以减轻该贸易对物种的威胁。 布莱尔博士将与美国自然历史博物馆生物多样性和保护中心的 Eleanor J. Sterling 博士、巴德学院环境政策中心的 Gautam Sethi 教授以及越南国立大学自然资源和环境研究中心的 Minh D. Le 博士合作。 布莱尔博士还将在该项目中指导年轻学生，她将开发在美国和越南使用的宣传材料。该项目得到了 NSF 科学、工程和可持续发展教育研究员 (SEES Fellows) 计划的支持，其目标是帮助实现所需的发现，为实现环境、能源和社会可持续发展的行动提供信息，同时创造必要的劳动力来应对这些挑战。在 SEES 研究员的支持下，该项目将使有前途的早期职业研究人员能够在与可持续发展相关的独立研究生涯中确立自己的地位。
