Abstract:
Current socio-environmental issues challenge ecologists to contribute to their resolution through public policy. There are many possible forms of contributing to public policy besides providing information. A conceptual model proposes four roles, namely Pure Scientist, Science Arbiter, Issue Advocate and Broker of Alternatives. These roles differ in their view of science and whether they offer options to decision makers. In this work, we explored through a survey approach the self-perception of Argentine ecologists about their role concerning environmental public policies. We characterized the socio-professional profile of the ecologists according to different dimensions. Additionally, we explored the satisfaction level with the roles adopted and explored the exogenous and endogenous factors necessary to adopt the desired ones.
