A better understanding of the human dimensions of environmental issues can improve conservation. Yet there is a lack of awareness of the scope and uncertainty about the purpose of the conservation social sciences. We review 18 fields and identify 10 distinct contributions that the social sciences can make to conservation. This review paper provides a succinct reference for those wishing to engage with the conservation social sciences. Greater engagement with the social sciences will facilitate more legitimate, salient, robust and effective conservation.
