Science Highlight: Factors That May Affect the Success of Scent Detection Dogs: Exploring Nonconventional Models of Preparation and Deployment 

What does it mean to be “thinking bigger” in the field of conservation detection? 

  • Work with academics more; ask more questions 
  • Get more precise and better sampling 
  • Look into better study designs 
  • Continue expanding the field 
  • Improve relationships with study designers, scientists, veterinarians, etc. 
  • Improve welfare and training 
  • Think beyond what is easiest and the way things have always been done 
  • Where are you in the world and what are the issues there? 
  • What can you do to help? 
  • Think with a direction in mind and not just always going in and counting.
