STATEMENT OF RESEARCH, TEACHING,
and CONSULTING INTERESTS
My primary goal is to improve natural resource conservation at professional, scientific,
organizational, management, leadership, and policy levels. This requires interdisciplinary problem
solving in theory, research, practice, and teaching. My interests intersect in various ways in most of
my projects and activities. I currently have several major interests: applied conservation, professional
and organizational behavior in the natural resources arena, and analysis and development of policies
and programs for conservation of species and ecosystems. Representative activities include koala
conservation and management policy in Australia, a policy study aimed at improving carnivore
conservation in the Rocky Mountains of the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and an analysis of
ecosystem management policy in the Greater Yellowstone region. I have written 400+ papers,
monographs, and books.
Theory development: Theory for interdisciplinary problem solving is well developed and
grounded in practice. Central theory is abstracted in the policy sciences, which are simultaneously a
comprehensive theory about the individual, society, and policy process and an analytic framework to
guide research, inquiry, and problem solving. Despite the significance of this powerful theory, it is
little known or used currently in ecology, natural resource policy and management, or international
development. Recasting this theory in appropriate language to various audiences and applying it in
diverse cases thus illustrating its utility, takes up most of my research, practice, teaching, and
publishing.
Ecological and conservation research: I have investigated 30+ mammal species (marsupials,
insectivores, rodents, carnivores, ungulates, primates) in ten states and three foreign countries, mostly
with threatened and endangered species in recent years. I conduct fieldwork to develop reliable
population estimates, habitat models, field monitoring techniques, and help design preserves and
produce management plans. I work closely with theoreticians, modelers, geneticists, and others both
to develop and refine theories and to introduce appropriate concepts and technical tools to actual
management.
Professional and organizational behavior: I have investigated the roles and behavior of natural
resource practitioners and the challenges they face. I have also produced models drawing on
organizational theory that suggest new organizational arrangements and policy processes to enhance
performance in the natural resources field. My general thesis is that professional norms need to be
expanded to include more diverse and practical skill in organizational and policy processes as well as
pragmatic problem solving.
Policy research: I am interested in natural resource policy and management. I have several
ongoing projects in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and the Yellowstone to Yukon region of
western North America aimed at developing ecosystem management policy and sustainable
development. A number of case studies, mostly focusing on wildlife, are under study (e.g., grizzly
bears, wolves, elk). Large carnivores are a special interest of mine. Also, I have studied
implementation of the Endangered Species Act and its Victorian, Australia, equivalent, the Flora and
Fauna Guarantee Act. I have also evaluated policies (e.g., National Forest Management Act) and
programs (e.g., endangered species restoration) in the conservation field.
Teaching: I am interested in teaching and advising students at undergraduate, graduate, and
professional levels to upgrade performance in the conservation arena. I also teach field courses and
workshops. This requires teaching critical thinking and developing skill in interdisciplinary problem
solving. My particular aim is to help students develop a policy orientation and an interdisciplinary
approach to society’s natural resource problems and proficiency in the policy sciences method of
inquiry and central theory. Better-qualified practitioners and researchers will, in turn, improve the
functioning of their employing organizations as well as the larger social processes by which society
decides how to manage itself and its resources.
16
Consulting: In the past ten years, I have consulted with a number of groups with the general aim
of improving problem solving in the conservation of species and ecosystems. These efforts have
included five one- to four-day workshops for state government agencies in Australia, a three-week
field tour to consult with managers of nature reserves in Inner Mongolia, and a week-long meeting in
Indonesia to plan strategies for the protection of Javan rhinos. I also helped The Nature Conservancy
in evaluating and planning their operations in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Other projects
include evaluating koala management in Victoria, Australia, appraising grizzly bear recovery, various
analytic exercises for conservation groups, and assisting Teton County, Wyoming Commissioners on
various issues.
Leadership: Leadership is about promoting and safeguarding the process of deliberation in the
common interest. Leaders show good timing, responses to clear needs, and may or may not be highly
visible to the public. They inspire commitment, action and lead in problem solving, encourage broadbased involvement, and sustain hope and participation. Chief among their skills is leading in problem
solving by helping to clarify goals, mapping events and social interactions, and in explaining,
futuring, and finding practical solutions. They have a way to understand and value demands and
identities of potential followers, meeting their higher needs and engaging them fully. In short, they
raise people and themselves to a higher level of motivation and morality. They empower others and
give them a new sense of value, perspective, and energy. I focus on helping people become skilled
leaders, aware of their own psychodynamics and follower relations in both symbolic and material
ways to advance the common interest.
Interdisciplinarity: Interdisciplinarity (or interdisciplinism) as embodied in the policy sciences is
an integrative or configurative conception with an associated analytic framework. It is problem
focused, and it enables the use of diverse methods from the disciplines. Interdisciplinarity offers
people an explicit and systematic way of addressing environmental problems, organizing more
effectively for educational and influential advantage, and contributing practically to redress
environmental problems. The interdisciplinary approach is a type of “higher order” rationality not
found in any single discipline or combination of disciplines nor in conventional problem solving. It it
includes “ways and means for blending wisdom and science, for balancing free association and
intellectual discipline, for expanding and refining information, and for building a problem solving
culture that mixes ‘permanent’ with ‘transient’ membership, thereby remaining open to new
membership and fresh ideas while retaining a capacity for cumulative learning that refines, clarifies,
and simplifies.” In the policy sciences’ interdisciplinary approach, the problem is viewed as a process
of people making decisions about how they will manage themselves in relation to the environment.
Human Dignity/Rights: Human dignity is a widely supported goal in human affairs, made clear in
the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and many other constitutions,
declarations, and conventions worldwide. Human dignity arises from respect for the value of the
individual, equal treatment under the law, individual freedom, and social justice. However, applying
this principle in practice is problematic. Using a narrow “diversity” concept based on group identities
and allocations of power may obscure the more comprehensive, more basic human dignity construct.
I seek to help communities’ foster dignity through increased respect, greater freedom of choice, and
enhanced mutual deference.

PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL STATEMENT
Susan Clark is the Joseph F. Cullman 3rd professor (adjunct) of wildlife ecology and policy
sciences in the School of Forestry and Environmental Studies and fellow in the Institution for
Social and Policy Studies, Yale University. I received my Ph.D. from the University of
Wisconsin-Madison in 1973. My interests include conservation biology, organization theory and
management, natural resources policy, leadership, governance (ordinary and constitutive),
interdisciplinary problem solving, education, and the policy sciences.
In general terms, I seek to contribute to the integration of morals, science (in the broadest sense),
and policy. My moral value is that of an individual in a democratic society in which I have been
reared, and to which I am loyal: the dignity of the human personality in a free society. Science as
used here is the free use of reason on human experience, thus it is used more broadly than most
people use the term. Science is useful to generate insight, improve judgment, and upgrade
decision-making. I invite whatever collaboration there can be on the part of all people who are
benevolently disposed toward my aims or toward me.
My skill is analysis and creative, disciplined criticism. I seek to be an integrator of knowledge
and action and thereby helping myself and other people practically solve problems. In meeting
problems, I seek to elicit and give effect to all the rationality those individuals and groups are
capable of giving at the time on whatever issue that is before them.
The trend of our time is for integration and collaboration in problem solving. This is sometimes
called the “interdisciplinary approach” or the “policy sciences.” There is ample and growing
evidence of the desire for integration in many sectors of society and throughout the world
community. There have been many recent advances in fact-gathering and technical means that aid
integration. I seek to contribute to and promote this trend. I want to spend part of my time on the
systematic explication of “policy theory,” that is an inclusive model of self in social and decision
process, but also largely on demonstrating its application practically. This continually challenges
me to improve my “theory in action,” analytic and communication skills, and practices.
I have deliberately set out to acquire familiarity with many disciplines that contribute to the
policy sciences, yet move beyond them. This is reflected in part in the presses and journals where
my work has been published: Yale University Press, Cambridge University Press, Oxford
University Press, Cornell Press, Island Press, Sinauer Associates Press, Duke University Press,
Greenwood Press, CCI Press, Smithsonian Press, Glenwood Press, Perspectives in Biology and
Medicine, Policy Sciences, Society and Natural Resources, Journal of Sustainable Forestry,
American Midland Naturalist, Plains Anthropologist, Primates, Oryx, Journal of Wildlife
Management, Journal of Mammalogy, National Geographic Society reports and magazines, ,
Renewable Resources Journal, Environmental Management, Ecological Society Bulletin,
Endangered Species Update, Social Studies of Science, Human Dimensions in Wildlife
Newsletter, Transactions of the Royal Zoological Society of New South Wales, Australian
Zoologist, Journal of Applied Mathematics, Conservation Biology, Human Ecology, Wildlife
Research, New York Times, Journal of Organizational Behavior, InfoNorth, Arctic, Meridian,
Journal of Canadian Zoology, Animal Conservation, Ecological Applications, Biological
Conservation, and 20+ more.
I hope to aid the intelligence activities in society. Intelligence is the process of making available
to those who make decisions, the facts and interpretations designed to improve the rationality,
practicality, and morality of their judgments. Good intelligence is a prerequisite to a resilient
democracy. An adequate intelligence function should clarify goals and appraise them not only in
18
terms of expediency but also of principled morality (dignity). It should clarify alternative
solutions. It should offer pertinent information about trend and causal relations. It should evaluate
these in clear, understandable terms. It should support finding common interest outcomes.
The location for my activities must be a research/application organization that is devoted to
scientific/research work and the improvement of decisions. I choose to work without being totally
identified with any one organization of higher learning, nongovernmental group, or other
organization. This gives me the advantage of independence, or at least a varied status so that I am
freer to express my judgments, free of many conventional constraints by which other people are
burdened.

PROGRAM IN INTEGRATED
STRATEGY FOR LEADERSHIP
Program Leader and The Program: Susan G. Clark. This program is defined by the courses
taught by Professor Clark, which rely on the policy sciences—the oldest, most comprehensive,
yet practical approach to problem solving, management, and policy. It focuses on concepts and
methods for an integrative application of strategic thinking, including appraisal, learning for
future improvement and gains, and effective leadership. It defines strategy as “the calculated
relation of means to larger ends.” It focuses on how parts relate to the whole in any individual,
organizational, or institutional situation one might seek to improve. The course of study includes
a two-semester, genuinely interdisciplinary seminar (and allied courses) and individual and group
components. This approach is introduced in:
Clark, S. G. 2011. The policy process: A practical guide for natural resource Professionals.
New Haven: Yale University Press.
Clark, S. G., and R. L. Wallace. 2012. Interdisciplinary environmental leadership: Learning
and teaching integrated problem solving. Pages 420-429 in D. R. Gallagher, ed.,
Environmental leadership: A reference handbook. Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage
Publications.
It also draws on strategy conceptualized in:
Lasswell, H. D. 1952. Political factors in the formulation of strategy. Naval War College
Review IV(10): 49-64.
Program Objectives: This two-semester program (and allied courses) aims to examine the
theory and practice of problem solving, as well as effective strategy and tactics in contemporary
conservation contexts, from the analytic perspective of an integrative approach (i.e., genuine
interdisciplinarity). This integrative approach is introduced in:
Clark, S. G., R. L. Wallace, and D. Mattson. 2013. Integration and Interdisciplinarity:
Their Social Sciences History and Teaching Them in Today’s World.
Clark, S. G., et al. 2011. College and university environmental programs as a policy problem
(Part 2): Strategies for improvement. Environmental Management 47: 716-726.
The grounded strategies considered in this program range over a broad array of experiences,
cases, and land, freshwater, and marine locations worldwide. Some represent the best thinking
and writing on the subject. Others illustrate successes and failures in the formulation,
implementation, appraisal, and succession of policies and programs of strategy. From a careful
examination of this range of examples, using a “stable frame of reference,” students can extract a
set of practical operational skills for formulating a strategy that will be useful in any future
leadership role in which they may be called on to connect (or create) desired ends with available
means. Skills include critical thinking, observation, management, and technical matters. These
courses complement, not duplicate, material in other courses in the university.
The first semester (every fall) is organized to introduce a comprehensive approach to
management and policy. This research course/seminar, Foundations of Natural Resource Policy
and Management, focuses on the people, their perspectives, and values in environmental studies
or other disciplines. Its purpose is to help you improve your skills in thinking more effectively
and acting more responsibly in complex policy cases. The seminar explores comprehensive and
integrated (interdisciplinary) methods for thinking about problems in natural resource policy and
management and proposing solutions to them.
In the second semester in alternate springs, we apply this approach either to large-scale
conservation as a societal goal in a capstone course, or to other related subjects (e.g., species and
ecosystem conservation, society and natural resource issues, and current topics).

PROGRAM ON CONSERVATION IN THE
AMERICAN WEST
Program Leader and The Program: Susan G. Clark. This program is a partnership that brings
top minds to collaborate on conservation in the West. Since 1987, Yale FE&S and the Northern
Rockies Conservation Cooperative INRCC) have been in partnership in Greater Yellowstone,
throughout the West, and at diverse sites worldwide.
Program Objectives: As the basis for the partnership, both organizations share the goal of
addressing conservation problems from an interdisciplinary and hands-on approach. NRCC is
often referred to as “Yale West.” It is proving grounds for Yale FE&S students interested I
working in the Rocky Mountain West. The program has proven to be a significant career-building
step for man. NRCC is often considered an incubator for emerging conservation leaders and
programs.
Record: Many current and former staff, interns, research associates and board members are Yale
alumni, including NRCC’s Executive Director, the President of the Board, Emeritus Board. Since
1987, NRCC has hosted 58 interns, of whom 43 were Yale students. The Board currently has 3
FE&S graduates, and 12 or NRC’s 33 Research Associates are FE&S alums. As well, a number
of NRCC affiliates are also members of the Yale Large Carnivore Group, whose goal is to
facilitate coexistence between people and carnivores in practical, cultural, and ecological and
policy-wise ways.
The NRCC-Yale partnership serves a leadership and in a problem-solving role in the Rockies,
and is a training ground for emerging conservation professionals by addressing key issues
through ecological and policy research, workshops, conferences, published papers presentations,
demonstration projects, and books. The partnership’s record is unparalleled The NRCC-Yale
partnership, although unofficial, functions as an applied arm of Yale’s School of Forestry and
Environmental sin the American West.
Yale and NRCC have collaborated on work and publications focused on large-scale management
and policy, sustainability management for elk in Wyoming, bridging local an professional
environmental knowledge, and to the topics including the book, Coexisting with Large
Carnivores: Lessons from Greater Yellowstone.
21
THE YALE LARGE CARNIVORE GROUP
Program Leader and The Program: Susan G. Clark. This program’s goals are to: (1) develop
and advance initiatives and management policies that promote carnivore conservation and
carnivore-human conflict mitigation and coexistence; (2) provide a forum that can stimulate
carnivore research and discussion; and (3) promote carnivore research by students and faculty.
The Group is a diverse group of Yale University affiliates and cooperators whose goal is to
facilitate coexistence between people and carnivores in practical, cultural, ecological and policywise ways. We are professors in ecology, wildlife management, policy sciences, anthropologists,
lawyers, graduate students, scientists, and practitioners engaged in the conservation and study of
carnivore species worldwide. We are a truly interdisciplinary group. We want to contribute to
mitigating conflicts between carnivores and humans. We work with bears, lions, mountain lions,
snow leopards, tigers, wolves and wolverines.
In different contextually relevant ways, we are all enabling coexistence in the face of mounting
pressures. We seek new and creative collaborative and effective conservation processes. In trying
to implement measures that can minimize conflicts, we work with local people, indigenous
people, ranchers, landowners, industry, wildlife managers, and a wide range of stakeholders and
seek their strong participation in conserving carnivores. We are also engaged in dialogue with
governments, non-governmental organizations, natural resource professionals and others, seeking
to organize arenas where a broader range of perspectives can influence the decision-making
process securing carnivore conservation.
Selected Work:
We work in Western North America, East Africa and Asia. We have:
▪ Created innovative conservation programs for the snow leopard in Pakistan where
compensation is provided to farmers who loose livestock to snow leopard predation.
▪ Created a livestock predation program and participatory programs for reducing human-lion
conflicts in Tanzania;
▪ Designed protected areas in Africa and Italy;
▪ Contributed to discoveries in behavioral ecology of grizzly bears and wolverine ecology
projects in Montana.
Wherever we work, we seek to help manage conflicts between people and carnivores by engaging
local communities and officials.
We formed the Group because we care about carnivores and the people affected by them. Our
group serves as a platform to communicate, shares our experiences, and stimulates more intensive
and extensive discussion of on the ground conservation. We host guest lectures, seminars, and
conferences to highlight and promote successful approaches to addressing conflicts between
humans and carnivores.
Challenges: “Managing large carnivores is a complex, dynamic, ongoing, social process. It
directly reflects the feelings, beliefs and values of the many people who participate in one way or
another. Understanding this complex social process is a vital first step to envisioning how we can
change things for the better” (Clark & Rutherford 2005, p.7). Successfully addressing these
human dimensions depends on our ability to find creative ways to protect species in sustainable
ways through an inclusive, participatory process with people who live and work in carnivore
habitat.

Comments from Students in my courses (1992 to date): Courses by title and date
Conservation and Biology of Rare and Endangered Species, Spring 92
Clark and Remington are both great professors – Both have incredible knowledge and make
the class very interesting.
Species and Ecosystem Conservation: An Interdisciplinary Approach, Spring 96
This was an extremely valuable course that is (and will be) practically important in the real
world. It really should be required of everyone in this school. In additions to learning a toll
for problem analysis and applying it to a range of issues I really appreciated the fact that we
critiqued each other’s presentations.
Excellent course – as a scientist grappling with my role in conservation policy this course
really helped me to define my position and understand my strengths and limitations.
This course or one like it should be required of all students. The mental tools gained are
useful to any profession.
Excellent class. One of the best at Yale!
Incredible job by Clark! And thanks for providing this type of course.
I like that you are professional as well as a teacher. We need more people like you in our
school.
46
Clark is a wonderful teacher. The perspective he brings to the classroom is real and
enlightening – this is definitely due to his semesters spent in the real world dealing with real
problems. If it were feasible every professor should spend half of their time outside of the
ivory tower. This practice would add so much to education as we know it.
Very inspiring! Keep it up! Great class!
This was the most useful course I’ve taken here!
This is one of the most useful analytic policy tool class that I have ever had for understanding
the complex decision making processes.
A truly excellent course!
Species and Ecosystem Conservation: An Interdisciplinary Approach, Spring 97
Prof. Clark is an excellent professor. Keep up the good work!
Prof. Clark is a wonderful professor, among the best I’ve had at FES, or ever. Clark inspires
thought analysis, creativity, self scrutiny and goal evaluation.
Beyond a shadow of doubt this has been the most useful, clearly applicable class I have taken
at the school.
One of the best class at FES – I loved this class.
This class should be mandatory for all students at FES. It is an excellent introduction to what
is obviously a crucial skill for all of us. We need more of it!
This course was the most important course for my professional development out of all that I
have taken during my 2 years in this program.
One of the top three most relevant courses for my study area and for my future conservation
biology career. I suggest including it as one the required courses.
Foundations of Natural Resource Management and Policy, Spring 98
This class is truly unique. Sometimes all language and ideas will drive you crazy but it the
end you will see that it all adds up. The class is one of the only few that give you strategies
that you can take directly to the policy field! And it will change your perspective in the
process.
This class should be required for policy concentration.
The way of looking at things through the policy science lens has been very useful for my
academic studies and I assume will be useful in the future.
Policy science is an excellent tool for elaborating scientific problem. It provides a way to fit
the science issue in to the broader context of society.
47
I am really glad I took this class and learnt this methodology.
Species and Ecosystem Conservation: An Interdisciplinary Approach, Spring 98
This course and Clark’s presence is essential for a well rounded education at FES. I strongly
recommend this course to anyone interested in being an effective manager or researcher.
An excellent class – highly recommended.
I greatly enjoyed the course and learned a huge amount. What seemed completely foreign and
impossible to understand on the first day ended up being a very useful framework for looking
at problems and policies.
An excellent course… one of the best I have had here at Yale.
Clark is a great professor and person – very supportive and give great feedback.
Interdisciplinary Approach to Large Carnivore Conservation, Fall 06
Very much, it was very helpful to do a paper and discussed with the professor. Both were
always willing to give me feedback of my work in order to improve my knowledge
No, but i feel that what i got out of it will be very important, and i couldn't have known to
look for it.
Yes, I think the many case studies presented, the Grizzlies, Mountain Lions, panthers,
condors, etc. were all good for understanding the complexities of conservation (related to the
people involved), although sometimes it seemed like there weren't any great solutions to the
problems.
Society and Natural Resources (War and the Environment), Spring 07
Completely. It is a great source of enlightenment in terms of evaluating what we do as
professionals vs. what should we ideally do and why.
I took this course to fulfill an MEM requirement, but I am glad that I chose this one.
I simply had an interest in the connections between war and the environment, and the
environmental portion of the social justice effects of war.
It far surpassed my expectations. I don't think I always expressed this to the professors, but I
feel that I have gained a great advantage by having taken this course.
Large Scale Conservation: Integrating Science, Management, and Policy, Spring 07
This course serves well as a course for analyzing and thinking in a truly interdisciplinary way
the perspectives offered in other courses at FES. It served well as an opportunity to explore
topics in other courses both strategically and in an unconstrained way.
I am interested in natural resource and public lands management, and this course fits in
perfectly with that. Although I would argue that this course is vital to anyone interested in
48
public policy on any level.
This course has been invaluable. It works well to align natural science work with social
processes associated with conservation work.
Yes. The "policy process" map has opened up a whole new world to me in analyzing human
decision making and the policy process overall.
Species and Ecosystem Conservation: An Interdisciplinary Approach, Fall 07
This course is closely related to my academic background and previous experience.
Therefore, this class would be very useful for me in the future when I am working in the
practical problems around the field of conservation.
Because I need to increase my capacity and analytical skills on conservation work. Especially
to contribute the conservation work in my country to be more precise, effective and efficient.
This course exceeded my expectations. It has been one of the most useful courses I've taken
while at Yale.
Foundations of Natural Resources Management and Policy, Fall 07
The course gives you a fantastic framework to understand what is going on in a conflict
Yes - I enjoyed the course and felt that I gained substantially from it. Although there were
periods of frustration with the instructors - they were doing their best and I appreciate that. It
was a good course.
This course will fit in any academic background the students may have
As someone emphasizing policy, decision making, and governance processes here at FES,
this course was the single most important for learning HOW to think. Other courses teach
facts.
It helped provide me with lessons I can use throughout the program and my career. I also
used it for my Master's Project.
Foundations of Natural Resources Management and Policy, Spring 08
The nature of this course is that it fits into any student's program, regardless of what they
study.
This course fits well into any program. Essential experience for anyone who will ever need to
engage in group-based problem solving.
The first course to really try to give us a framework in which to apply the knowledge and
skills we have been acquiring from both FES and our other educational experiences. Will be
relevant whichever direction I take myself in.
It surpassed my expectations.
49
Yes. This course is very focused on the policy sciences approach, which is really promoted as
"THE way" to solve all natural resource problems by Susan. I definitely found this approach
to be very useful, but I think there probably are some other approaches one could use as well.
However the discussions we had in class about how this approach could be used, and the
aspects of problem-solving we touched upon were very thought-provoking. This was very
different from other classes I've taken so it was a nice contrast, and a good way to get me
thinking about my own goals and biases.
Society and Natural Resources (War and the Environment), Spring 08
Both professors were always available for students. Both Dr. Clark and Dr. Burch are
extremely devoted to students and this is extremely apparent.
Instructors were exceptionally helpful.
It was a good opportunity to take stock of my life and what I had learned before going back
out into the real world.
Foundations on Natural Resource Management and Policy, Fall 08
Very good - both were very responsive, and Dr. Clark put in a lot of time out of class to meet
with students and discuss projects in great depth, which was very helpful.
Professor Clark is incredibly available. More so than any other professor.
Most excellent, one of the better features of this class. Wonderfully qualified TA, very
helpful, and the professor was welcoming and took a personal interest in her students. The
quality of attention, and availability, was well above average for a course with this many
students.
Yes - the policy sciences is a very useful framework to make sense of difficult policy and
management cases, and applying the framework through analysis of individual cases was
very helpful to drive its insights home.
Large Scale Conservation: Integrating Science, Management, and Policy, Spring 09
It was a capstone course in natural resources policy, had great relevance to policy and
decision making on the ground, and fulfilled a bin requirement.
Clark was very responsive. Professor Clark consistently makes time in her schedule to meet
with students for as long as they want to talk - which I really appreciate.
Yes. The course is definitely not a science or conservation biology course. It is a social
science course that attempts to get students to realize that conservation is more about the
people and societies involved in and affected by conservation rather than the biophysical data
behind the conservation initiative. I was not aware that it was going to be a sociologyphilosophy-policy science course when I went in but I am very glad it was and I enjoyed the
intellectual challenge of the class.
For the most part, it did live up to my expectations. Sometimes I wished for more discussion
and less lecture, but at the same time, I think that hearing from guest speakers was a
50
fundamental part of the course and quite useful to understanding the practice of conservation
in the real world.
Yes, it lived up to my expectations in challenging me to think differently.
Susan's classes are famous! I had to take at least one!
Foundations on Natural Resource Management and Policy, Fall 09
Prof. Clark and Jenn Hoyle were so generous in terms of sharing their time and insight Mind
maps – great way to capture the complexity of standpoint.
Prof. Clark could not be better. She and TA was effective in helping me understand any
uncertainties that I may have had.
I am interested in the social and decision process of biodiversity conservation. In that regard,
this course hit the nail on the head with a sledgehammer.
This course exceeded my expectations.
It was the reason I came to Yale - the policy process, the professor, and the project idea
(gaining understanding and perspective on a subject of my own choosing)
I am interested in interdisciplinary problem solving and Policy Sciences is a useful tool
towards that end.
This course is a great foundation to my masters degree. It provides a broad perspective and
presents tools for practicing what we learn.
This class helps people be integrators, which is my career goal
The course was highly recommended to me by former students.
Species and Ecosystem Conservation: An Interdisciplinary Approach, Spring 10
Susan Clark is an expert and loves teaching policy sciences, which really helps the students
lean the material. She absolutely loves answering questions and the field trips really help with
understanding policy sciences.
Susan has unique insights that have taught me more than more than any other professor.
Society and Natural Resources (Professionalism, Human Dignity, and Sustainability),
Spring 10
Prof. Clark is one of the most available and open at FES.
Prof. Clark is very approachable and easy to talk to, always available to meet and talk.
I was initially confused as to how the class would fit into my program, however, it ultimately
exceeded my expectations. This was largely due to the instructor's enthusiastic guidance of
the class.
51
Foundations of Natural Resources Management and Policy, Fall 10
Excellent, this class not only gave me inter-disciplinary problem solving skills, but essential
theories and concepts for analyzing policy and developing recommendations for improving
policy. The most valuable class I will take at Yale.
This course provided a really unique and specialized way to approach any environmental
issue and this was really interesting to be exposed to.
The policy sciences framework that we learned was the best part of the course. Learning it in
depth and learning how to apply was really valuable. Susan was also a warm, welcoming
professor and it was very helpful that she was always available and happy to meet.
The course material may not become totally clear until about halfway through the semester
when students being their presentations, so don't expect to have a good grasp on the
framework in the beginning and don't be afraid of all the new vocabulary. It certainly takes
time to learn and chances are you won't have a firm grasp on it even after the course is over.
Start the final paper early! And go talk with Susan during her office hours -- she is an
incredibly valuable resource and she is really helpful in talking through your particular case
and helping you to apply the framework to it.
Large Scale Conservation: Integrating Science, Management, and Policy, Spring 11
I am happy to find a course in FES like this in the last semester I am here and have a feeling
that it will answer some of my very basic questions. [begging of class] It’s one of the greatest
classes I have ever taken, either in Peking University or in FES. It was a “constitutive
process” for myself: changing the way I see the world and deal with natural resource
management. It’s not an end, but a beginning, for my professional journey of environmental
management and policy making.” Tian Wang
The self-organizing framework of the Large Scale Conservation course was challenging for
me. I am much more comfortable with typical university courses, which are highly structured
by the professor. I think this relates to my inclination for what I perceive to be efficiency.
However, I have learned that efficiency in terms f time or quick decision making does not
necessarily lead to sustainable solutions, particularly in the context of large scale
conservation dilemmas. I think all students would benefit fro taking a self-organizing course,
which pushes you to consider what your goals are and how you might learn the most. The
challenge is that F&ES and most graduate programs, even those that claim to be
interdisciplinary, lack professors who are comfortable with this concept and, thus they lack
individuals who could successfully facilitate a truly independent course. Jessamine
Fitzpatrick
Your class gave me a brand new methodology of restructuring my knowledge, experience,
and belief….Susan, you are the coolest professor I have ever seen! I am so glad I took this
class. Mona Yang
Going to Yellowstone and applying the policy sciences framework to a real/current case was
the most memorable/helpful part of this class. This class got me to think in a new way and see
large scale conservation in a totally new light. The reason I came back to graduate school was
so that I could transcend my current level of thinking/way of seeing the world, and this class
52
definitely helped me accomplish that. This was an eye-opening, life-changing class for me. I
also really enjoyed the various guest speakers who came in to speak to the class. It was very
helpful to hear from professionals out in the field who are applying the policy sciences
framework in their own work.
This course has fundamentally changed the way I think about conservation and how I will
engage in work from this point forward. It is rare to find such a course, and I am thrilled to
have had the opportunity. The material is challenging and requires thought and reflection; it is
possible to understand the material and process it in the classroom, but it is only in the field,
working on actual problems and questions that the material really settles in and reveals itself.
Taking the course for 6 credits afforded me the opportunity to travel to Yellowstone and
adopt a case study to apply the material. The 8 days in Montana alone has informed my
thinking more than any other course I have taken here thus far.
This course is a difficult one to teach I suspect because the material is not concrete or fixed;
instead it challenges the students to re-think their approach and provides a framework for
equipping students with the skills to improve their analytical approaches to conservation
questions. Students approach the course from a diversity of skill-levels and experiences
though and enter at different starting points. This is not a mechanistic framework, but rather
requires active and willing participation from students. All of this presents difficulties
Subject matter was very interesting and helpful. This was probably one of the most useful
classes I will take at Yale due to its applicability to problem-solving.
Society and Natural Resources (Survey of Psychology and Sociology), Spring 11
I am interested in environmental education, and this class fit very nicely because it taught us
about how to talk to other people about values and big, important issues. mostly, it made us
learn about ourselves, which i think is important for anyone who is going to put themselves
out there for people.
Amazing, fits into ANY program!
Wonderful class, topic, and professor! Need more of these classes that are interdisciplinary
and examine environmental psychology! Take this class and tell FES' administration and
Dean that you want more truly interdisciplinary classes like this one!
Understanding the relationship between society and natural resources is one of the most
important skills for environmental professionals, I wish there were more courses that focused
on this topic. From this course I learned most about understanding the viewpoints of those
that are very different from FES types, like with the Youtube video by a group in Montana
that opposed wolf reintroduction. I feel better prepared to engage with people from vastly
different viewpoints and backgrounds after this course.
TAKE THIS CLASS! The class revolutionized how I think about the world and myself.
Hands down, this seminar has been the most helpful, exciting and thought-provoking class I
have taken as both a graduate and undergraduate student. I highly, highly recommend this
course.

Discussion in class was interesting in its departure from my regular experience with
descriptive, scientific analysis, Student
I really enjoyed sharing this semester with you. I feel the class contributed to my professional
and personal paths and to my experience at F&ES. Pablo Montes Iannini, Masters of
Environmental Management, from Columbia
Prof. one thing you will be happy to know that I am very impressed by your talk for science
to solution class. You were very clear and all my classmates are impressed too. I am very
happy that I am taking your class. Regards. Kunzang Kunzang, student FES, Yale
Go visit with Susan as much as possible – she is a wonderful and insightful resource. She
asks tough questions, but they are always to the point and reflect a lot of thinking on her part.
The course definitely lived up to my expectations. I learned a much different way of thinking
about resource problems and feel much more prepared to begin work in the real world.
This course provides an excellent framework for analyzing policy issues – especially with
regard to the people involved. As a future natural resource manager, I appreciate this class
immensely and wish I had taken it my first year.
Susan is an amazingly available professor.
Species and Ecosystem Conservation: An Interdisciplinary Approach, Spring 12
I definitely learned a lot about how to go about species recovery – if you told me tomorrow to
devise a recovery plan, I’d be much better equipped to do so.
I got more out of the class than I expected. It challenged e to change how I think, and
moreover to think about how I think.
This truly a professional class in that you learn this interdisciplinary framework and how to
apply it to natural resource problems.
I think tis course was very relevant the material was completely new to me and I feel it will
be very helpful to me in the future.
The course’s material is valuable to any discipline and should be taught more widely in FES.
Society and Natural Resources: Interdisciplinarity, Spring 12
On the question why interdisciplinarity is NOT on the minds of my peers, well, actually, I’m
not sure they even understand that ID is something to be studied. Many of they believe they
are performing ID just by studying at a school that labels itself interdisciplinary.
I have engaged my peers in conservation about the topic. Many of them think that speaking
about ID is too abstract and distant from the work they need to do.
Just last week I was in a bus with about twenty of my peers, and the dominant complaint was
54
that … [need] “more economics and finance and practical, career-based course over a more
interdisciplinary regime. The more I have thought about this, the more I wonder if
interdisciplinary education and a more professionalized degree program at AT ODDS?
I have been empowered by this ID course.
Foundations of Natural Resources Management and Policy, Fall 12
Natural resource policy professionals have lots to gain from this course.
This course gives me a way of thinking about ALL problem solving making. As such it is
entirely valuable. This course offers a practice that can be used in the rest of my curriculum
here.
Very valuable course – helped change how I think about natural resource management. Will
definitely help me by being more effective in the future.
The course is excellent for learning a framework for understanding and addressing complex
problems.
For anyone and everyone whose objective is to solve problems of any kind, this course is
highly relevant.
The readings were fantastic!! The journaling was very useful for developing thinking and
understanding of the readings.
Extremely stimulating and deep material. Course really helps you improve the way you think,
which not many courses ever do. Emphasis on true interdisciplinarity is very much
appreciated.
Large Scale Conservation: Integrating Science, Management, and Policy, Spring 13
This has been a wonderful course—thank you! It has opened up a new framework for
understanding dynamics that I had previously been aware of but never had a language and a
systems for understanding and engaging in a structured way. Chris Rooks
Among the things that I learned are: 1) Complexity requires integration and uncertainty
requires adaptivity; 2) Humans are more limited in their “rationality” than they think; and 3)
Respect is often the most important value at play in many social arenas. Brendan Guy
Take home lessons for me include, 1. The importance of goal specifity and clarity, The
importance of understanding one’s standpoint; and 3. A good scholar knows the strength of
his or her conceptual framework, while an excellent scholar is also well aware of the
limitations or blind spots of his or her framework. Yufang Gao
This experience was very valuable as I not only learned what the policy sciences framework
is and how to use it constructively but was actually able to apply it to a real-life case study in
a way that was both productive for myself as a student and could provide valuable
information to policy-makers and organizations. Marian Vernon

Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and Global Change, Spring 13
This has been a wonderful course and an exciting case study for which to practice the social
process approach. Thank you for a great semester. Paul Chandler
This class was one of the most enjoyable, challenging and fulfilling I have taken at Yale. It
was enjoyable because each day in class was relaxed and friendly, the format was varied, and
I loved being with a small, engaging group of students from different backgrounds. It was
challenging because I had never been exposed to anything like the policy process before and
it took me almost the entire semester before felt as though I was able to wrap my head around
it. In fact, it was not until I took control of a case study of my own and focused in on my final
project that I felt like I finally had some grasp on the process and framework. This is also
why I am incredibly interested in taking another class with you next year. With another
semester, I’ll have the opportunity to continue to develop these skills and begin to use them
with skill and ease. Alice Buckley
I’d like to start out with a simple, yet essential aspect of this seminar that I really enjoyed.
And that is the comfortable discussion dynamic that we set up in this class. Jordan Moore
It’s impossible to separate an issue from its social context By orienting ourselves to the
problem through the policy process, viable solutions, compromises, or ways forward are often
revealed. Sydney Treuer
Another lesson that I believe I have gained from this class is that of values. I had not thought
of framing problems in terms of what assets or resources participants use in their efforts to
achieve goals. Thank you for a great semester! Breanna Lugan
The emphasis on an interdisciplinary approach to issues was intriguing, as I can now
appreciate how this method can be applied to several aspects of my life––both academics and
otherwise. Brendan Sullivan
One thing I learned in this class was about the interconnectedness of the Greater Yellowstone
Ecosystem. The struggles of different species are all tied together in the ecosystem. Tess
Maggio
Thank you for a phenomenal semester. Derwin Aikens
I can't believe our seminar is already over! But it's been a wonderful four months-Thanks,

Thank you so much for a wonderful semester. I look forward to seeing you in Kroon before
school ends but if not I will see you this summer in the beautiful West! All the very, very
best, Alice Buckley

Ms. Dorothy C. Triesman
President, Joseph and Joan Cullman Conservation Foundation
Dear Dorothy,
As the fall 2007 semester commences, I write to update you on the recent activities and
accomplishments of Professor Susan G. Clark who is serving as the Joseph F. Cullman 3rd
Professorship. It gives me great pleasure to write this report as Professor Clark is one of our
most extraordinary faculty: a prolific researcher and author; a dedicated, innovative, and
admired teacher; and a leader in conservation with the Yale community and in the academic,
governmental, and nonprofit communities of the West.
Susan has been voted best teacher in the past years and received very high student ratings on
teach and interdisciplinary skills, personal contact with students, and availability.
The school is extremely pleased to be able to benefit from Professor Clark’s scholarship and
active commitment to her research, her fellow faculty members and the students, and to the
broader F&ES community. We are honored to have her serve as the Joseph F. Cullman 3rd
Professorship and thank you again for your generous support.
With warmest regards,

greatly appreciate it. I also want to thank you for attending the Policy Expo – it was so
wonderful having you there. Than you for the commitment you have for you students – it is
truly amazing. Lauren, Student
Just the few hours we spent together, I learned quite a bit about the policy sciences and
myself. I greatly appreciate your hospitality. You made me consider aspects of human dignity
which I hadn’t though about before. I am find it useful during my travels. After visiting FES,
it is definitely my first choice! Liz Thomas, Student
Thanks so much Susan! Your work has inspired me and fundamentally impacted my work in
conservation. It is not by chance what I have done (Y2Y, Australia, Interdisciplinary Work,
Large Landscape Conservation). Your imprint is there. I hope after all these years you know
it but it needs to be said again, and I suspect it is good to hear it. Gary Tabor, DVM and
Student

much to me, both intellectually and personally. Stephane, Student
I just wanted to thank you for having the courage to hold courses that allow us the space and
place to reflect on these issues. It’s important to structure our thinking systematically around
these bigger questions and to review how our personal values, interests, and needs
interconnect with the values, interests, and need of others. So, thanks for pushing us to think
about and reflect on these underlying anxieties, concerns, and desires for the future. Abigail

Thank you for taking me under your wing as a student and mentee these past two years. Our
conversations have been enlightening and your advice valuable, but most of all you have
opened a window to a new way of seeing the world. The power of your teaching is not just
the subject matter but your delivery of it, you passion for understanding and your love of
sharing. Thank your for that-its has been an honor to have you as a role model and mentor.

I really appreciate your taking the time to chat with me this past Thursday-it was great to
finally meet you! I also wanted to think you inviting me to coffee with our students and to the
Women Faculty Forum discussion. It was really interesting for me to hear female students
talk about their experiences with mentorship opportunities and as women within FES. I am
even more convinced that your research interests, personality, and advising style are a good
match for me. Tara Meyer

YALE UNIVERSITY
School of Forestry & Environmental Studies
September 6, 2007
Mrs. Dorothy C. Treisman
President
Joseph and Joan Cullman Conservation Foundation
715 Sleepy Hollow Road
Briarcliff, NY 10510-2524
Dear Mrs. Treisman:
As the fall 2007 semester commences, I write to update you on the recent activities and
accomplishments of Professor Susan G. Clark who is serving as the Joseph F. Cullman 3rd
Professor at the School of Forestry and Environmental Studies. It gives me great pleasure to
write this report as Professor Clark is one of our most extraordinary faculty: a prolific
researcher and author; a dedicated, innovative, and admired teacher; and a leader in
conservation within the Yale community and in the academic, governmental, and nonprofit
73
communities of the West.
As you know, for more than 30 years, Susan has dedicated herself to endangered species and
biodiversity conservation in the United States, Australia and elsewhere. Her principal
interests are interdisciplinary problem solving, decision making, governance, policy process,
leadership, conservation biology, organization theory and management, natural resources
policy, and the policy sciences. In keeping with the mission and vision of the school, Susan's
research is interdisciplinary in nature, collaborative and biased toward action and problemsolving. Her focus is on studying the policy and management dynamic of various natural
resource systems and finding improvements.
She has several ongoing projects in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and the Yellowstone
to Yukon region of western North America aimed at developing ecosystem management
policy and sustainable development. A number of case studies, mostly focusing on wildlife,
are under study (e.g., grizzly bears, mountain lions, polar bears wolves, elk), reflective of her
special interest in large carnivores. She is also involved in studying some of the larger
conservation issues in the West, namely open space, livestock grazing, park management, and
nature-based tourism.
As the author of over 340 papers, monographs and books, Susan is one of our most prolific
faculty. Her chief project in the last year is the just completed new book Ensuring Greater
Yellowstone's Future: Choices for Leaders and Citizens with Yale University Press. Based on
16 years of research and more than 20 years in the field, her new book focuses on how to
develop greater and more effective leadership in managing the Greater Yellowstone
ecosystem.
Other recent publications include: Coexisting with Large Carnivores: Lessons from Greater
Yellowstone (co-author, 2005), Conservation and Development in the Condor BioReserve,
Ecuador (co-author, 2004), and The Policy Process: A Practical Guide for Natural Resource
Professionals (2002). Susan currently has over 20 additional publications in preparation,
including five new books.
In the classroom, Susan continues to distinguish herself among her peers and students. This
past year, she taught four classes and offered special projects and thesis courses in support of
independent study and Master's projects. Her courses included "Interdisciplinary Approaches
to Large Carnivore Conservation", "Foundations of Natural Resource Management and
Policy", "Large Scale Conservation: Integrating Science, Management and Policy", and
"Society and Natural Resources: War and the Environment."
She is also in the process of developing two new courses: a joint seminar on Environment
Leadership with MIT, and the other on human dignity and rights. Susan has been voted best
teacher in past years and received very high student ratings on teaching and interdisciplinary
skills, personal contact with students, and availability.
In addition to her research and teaching, Susan served as a member of several key
committees, including the FES Student Affairs Committee, the Yale College Committee
(which includes the 5thyear Master's environment degree program), and oversees the school's
two largest conservation scholarships, the Doris Duke Conservation Fellows program and the
Wyss Scholars Program for the Conservation of the American West. She also served on the
Masters Admissions Committee, McClusky Visiting Faculty Committee, Yale Forest Forum
Advisory Committee, and was a member of the Center for Biodiversity Conservation and
74
Science.
Outside of Yale, Susan continues to provide leadership and advice to a host of conservation
organizations and policy institutes, including the Society for the Policy Sciences, Canadian
IPY Polar Bear Project, The Charture Institute, The Cougar Fund, Yellowstone Coalition,
Northern Rockies Conservation Cooperative, Craighead Environmental Research Institute,
and the IUCN Species Survival Commission. In 2006, Susan received the Denver Zoological
Foundation Conservation Award for her outstanding professional contributions to
conservation.
The school is extremely pleased to be able to benefit from Professor Clark's scholarship and
active commitment to her research, her fellow faculty members and the students, and to the
broader F&ES community. We are honored to have her serve as the Joseph F. Cullman 31d
Professor and thank you again for your generous support.
Finally, it would be our pleasure to have you and your sons come to campus to meet
Professor Clark and some of our students. Please contact my office if you would like to
accept the invitation to visit.
With warmest regards,
James Gustave Speth Dean

Joseph and Joan Cullman Conservation Foundation
715 Sleepy Hollow Road
Briarcliff, NY 10510-2524
Dear Ms. Treisman:
Dr. Susan G. Clark, the Joseph F. Cullman 3rd Professor at the School of Forestry and
Environmental Studies, continues her invaluable and unique contributions to our School, to
Yale, to the larger professional community, and to the public through her many good works. I
write to update you on a few of her recent activities and accomplishments since our last
report in 2007.
I can assure you that Professor Clark is one of our most extraordinary faculty—a prolific
researcher and author, a dedicated, innovative, and admired teacher, and a leader in
conservation within the Yale community and in the academic, governmental, and nonprofit
communities, especially in the American West. She continues to make fundamental
contributions to the four areas of scholarship that the School is known for––teaching,
75
research, integration, and application. Let me offer you a very few highlights. Susan’s
voluminous work and publications range over a wide field. I can give you her CV and a more
complete accounting, as you require.
First, concerning her teaching, Susan was chosen Best Faculty Mentor by the Class of 2011.
Her courses include “species and ecosystems conservation,” “foundations of natural resource
management and policy,” “large-scale conservation,” and others. Typical of the feedback
about her classes are these:
“Thank you, you taught me how to think.” Daniel Oppenheimer, student
“Your class was one of the best I have had.” Pragyajan Rai, student
“Thank you too for two truly thought-provoking courses.” Dan Peerless, student
“You changed my life.” Juliana Gallegos, student
“So many prospective [students] told me this afternoon how helpful and inspiring you
were.” Emly McDiarmid, former Director of Masters Admissions
She takes pride in her teaching and continues to develop new teaching materials and methods.
She is especially interested in integrated, interdisciplinary problem solving and leadership
across a broad range of subjects.
Second, concerning Susan’s research, she has published over 45 papers and book chapters,
and several books and monographs in the last five years. She has published in conservation
journals and books, a law review, policy papers, and in technical biology journals. One of her
chief projects was a 2008 book, Ensuring Greater Yellowstone's Future: Choices for Leaders
and Citizens, with Yale University Press (her fifth book with the university’s press). Based on
16 years of research and more than 20 years in the field, it seeks to make conservation and
leadership more effective in this premier ecosystem. Overall, she has an unparalleled record
of research accomplishment.
She has won both the Lasswell and McDougal Prizes for best articles (on leadership) in
Policy Sciences, a highly ranked journal with the goal of “integrating knowledge and practice
to advance human dignity for all.” Her 2001, two-part, coauthored paper on how to help
interdisciplinary university programs continues to be very well received, for example.
Third, concerning integration, Susan’s recent paper on how to “integrate” for conservation
gains is a fundamental contribution. She uses a framework developed for this purpose.
Widely recognized as an integrative leader and problem solver, her courses focus on teaching
integrative skills and competencies. Two of her books on integrated problem solving were
reissued by Yale University Press:
Clark, S.G. 2011. The Policy Process: A Practical Guide for Natural Resource
Professionals. New Haven: Yale University Press.
Clark, S.G., et al., eds. 2011. Foundations of Natural Resources Management and Policy.
New Haven: Yale University Press.
As my predecessor Dean Gus Speth noted, Susan is one of our most prolific faculty.
Fourth, concerning the application of knowledge to solving problems, Susan and her
colleagues have been working on large carnivore conservation in western North American.
With another set of colleagues, she has also been working on large landscape-scale
conservation. Both projects will result in books. She also works on specific projects,
including mountain lions, elk, migrations, wolves, grizzly and polar bears, and others.
Another of her major applications is developing educational materials.

Her works at FES, Yale, and outside are extensive. For example, within the last couple years
she has attended the Annual Institute of the Society of Policy Sciences at the Yale Law
School, where she organized a panel; the 6th International Conference on Environmental
Future at the Newcastle University (Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK) on the subject of
interdisciplinarity; and three annual meetings of the Association of Environmental Studies
and Sciences (AESS) in Vermont, Oregon, and California. She always presents papers and
chairs and serves on panels. She has served on the AESS board of directors and chairs the
Professional Development Committee.
Within FES Susan has served on the FES Student Affairs Committee, the Yale College
Committee (which includes the fifth-year masters environment degree program), the YaleTERI program, the one-year master’s students committee, the Global Institute for Sustainable
Forestry (as an advisor), and the Tropical Resources Institute. She oversees the school’s two
largest conservation scholarships, the Doris Duke Conservation Fellows program and the
Wyss Scholars Program for Conservation of the American West. She continues to mentor
Yale undergraduates. She also has served on the Masters Admissions Committee, McCloskey
Visiting Faculty Committee, Yale Forest Forum Advisory Committee, and was a member of
the Center for Biodiversity Conservation and Science.
Within the larger Yale community she serves on the Yale Women’s Faculty Forum (e.g., in
the Strategic Change Committee, in the “thought leaders” seminar, and in the “nonladder”
faculty group). She stays in communication with other departments, schools, and institutes,
including the McDougal Center, Institution for Social and Policy Studies, American Studies,
and Women and Gender Studies.
Outside of Yale, Susan continues to get invitations from Canada, Poland, England, Australia,
and elsewhere to participate in meetings or join in research projects. She continues to provide
leadership and advice to a host of conservation organizations and policy institutes, including
the Northern Rockies Conservation Cooperative, Denver Zoological Foundation, Society for
the Policy Sciences, Canadian IPY Polar Bear Project, The Charture Institute, The Cougar
Fund, Greater Yellowstone Coalition, Craighead Environmental Research Institute, and the
IUCN/Species Survival Commission.
In closing, our School greatly benefits from having Professor Clark’s long-term and deep
commitment to our program, students, and conservation. As Dean Speth previously noted,
“we are honored to have her serve as the Joseph F. Cullman 3rd Professor.” Thank you most
sincerely for your generous support.
With warmest regards,
Sir Peter Crane, Dean
