摘要

保护工作者设计和实施成功的保护项目并扩大积极成果的能力,在很大程度上取决于他们对项目所处的社会和生态环境做出准确假设的能力。为了了解表征保护实践和策略的假设类型,我们研究了大型环保非政府组织大自然保护协会(the Nature Conservancy)项目研讨会上的保护从业者确定的300个假设,这些假设对保护项目的成功至关重要。我们确定了7个保护假设主题(公众态度和看法;能力和资源;经济和行为因素;政府、政治和政策;影响和可扩展性;知识和证据;以及组织或内部因素),这些因素主要与保护的人类层面有关(例如,价值观、人类行为、关系、政策和政治)。保护假设主要集中在项目层面和基于地点的问题上,而不是保护问题的根本原因。对于以人为本和以公平为中心的保护方法,我们的研究结果表明,保护团队应该系统地参与不确定性较高的领域,尤其应该关注有关保护项目运作的更广泛背景的公理假设。这些见解可以为有效的项目设计和适应性学习提供信息,并可以直接提高项目的成功。

Examining critical assumptions in global conservation practice.

The ability of conservation practitioners to design and implement successful conservation projects and scale up positive outcomes depends in large part on their ability to make accurate assumptions about the social and ecological contexts in which their projects operate. To understand the types of assumptions characterizing conservation practice and strategy, we examined 300 assumptions identified by conservation practitioners in project workshops at The Nature Conservancy, a large environmental nongovernmental organization, as being critical to the success of their conservation projects. We identified 7 conservation assumption themes (public attitudes and perceptions; capacity and resources; economic and behavioral factors; government, politics, and policy; impacts and scalability; knowledge and evidence; and organizational or internal factors), which primarily relate to the human dimensions of conservation (e.g., values, human behavior, relationships, policy, and politics). The conservation assumptions focused predominantly on project-level and place-based matters, rather than on the root causes of conservation problems. For people- and equity-centered conservation approaches, our findings suggest that conservation teams should systematically engage with areas of elevated uncertainty and should especially focus on axiomatic assumptions made about the broader contexts in which conservation projects operate. These insights can inform effective project design and adaptive learning and can directly improve project success.

期刊介绍: Conservation Biology welcomes submissions that address the science and practice of conserving Earth's biological diversity. We encourage submissions that emphasize issues germane to any of Earth''s ecosystems or geographic regions and that apply diverse approaches to analyses and problem solving. Nevertheless, manuscripts with relevance to conservation that transcend the particular ecosystem, species, or situation described will be prioritized for publication.
