I also agree. The cost of education in America is very high. Moreover, there are less encouraging means in US for women especially for STEM majors.

I think another way that Aakash and Sid are coming at this might be from this sentence in your post:
“In wildlife science, innovation has been driven by technology.” Yes, but the technology doesn’t invent itself – changes in the social / cultural context in which we as humans see and interact with wildlife condition the kinds of questions we ask about wildlife (i.e. the key concerns of “wildlife science”). The humanities and social sciences help us understand and condition the way we see, experience and value wildlife. Those social and historical factors inform innovation (both in form and application) just as they help define the (changing) questions and concerns we have about bears or wolverines.
