Abstract
Abstract The concept of wildlife stakeholder acceptance capacity (WSAC) has developed from different perspectives. Depending on the perspective taken by the scholars addressing the concept, it may be seen as primarily cultural, social, or economic in nature. Despite the “fuzziness,”; the development of these various perspectives on the concept has enhanced its emerging place as a fundamental element of modern wildlife management. However, our own experiences and observations of attempts to articulate and apply the concept indicate a need to refine it. The primary needs as we see them include: (1) develop a robust theoretical framework and standard terminology to articulate WSAC, (2) develop standard measures, (3) identify and understand relationships of principal factors that affect acceptance capacity of various stakeholder groups, (4) determine how to aggregate multiple stakeholder acceptance capacities in a particular situation, (5) experimentation in manipulating variables influencing WSAC for different stakeholder groups, and (6) understand stakeholder acceptance of techniques that managers employ to influence wildlife populations or to influence WSAC.
