These include the lack of a common vocabulary, a lack of knowledge of conservation among social scientists and frustration amongst natural scientists with the social science literature (particularly with the level of theory and jargon). These and other authors also report an unequal power dynamic between the disciplines. Social scientists are often in a minority in teams working on environmental issues and may not be involved in initial planning stages, thus they often have to fit their research into what they regard as an inappropriate conceptual framework (Campbell, 2005; Fox et al, 2006; Strang, 2009).
