New Portal for Human Dimensions in Natural Resources and Conservation

A portal. When I was much younger I don't recall if portal was in our vocabulary.

Even now, the word portal to me suggests a way to enter something new or far away. An entryway to something different.

I'm hoping that the new portal for human dimensions information in natural resources and conservation is exactly that--an entry to something different.

The HD.gov portal will become available about the middle of June.

From the HD.gov Web page, the effort is described:

This resource will serve as a credible online information resource as well as a portal with featured service‐links to guide users to existing online information relevant to their specific information needs (e.g., online tools, publications, methods, calendar of events). This work will add value to existing agency sites by highlighting the widely applicable aspects of their content, while retaining links to their agency‐specific information.

Human Dimensions leaders from several federal natural resource management agencies are launching the effort, as an interagency human dimensions Web resource.

You can tour the prototype pages and check out the pages when released later in June at: http://www.hd.gov/
