Abstract

This title will be presented on Friday, December 15, 2023 at 14.25-14.35 GMT+7.   Monitoring and evaluating wildlife species for conservation is crucial for increasing natural populations facing landscape use challenges. Stakeholder involvement needs a comprehensive study mapping priority actions and collaboration forms, especially for endangered species management. To address this issue, this study depicted the stakeholder's inclusiveness for mammalian endangered species worldwide. A thorough investigation was conducted using Dimensions, a platform that connects scholarly publications with open knowledge, which offers the benefit of attracting a more significant number of articles from different languages and includes tools for facilitating effective, efficient, and fair problem-solving. A range of relevant journals were selected by utilizing specific search terms. After filtering the results based on publication type and the time frame of 2003 to 2023 and doing the Bradfordizing scoping, the final as many as 175 documents were analyzed using the tools provided by the Biblioshiny R-Package of Bibliometrix. The results show that stakeholder involvement in managing the conservation of endangered wildlife species has been increasingly recognized in the last 20 years. Even so, one scientific article's specific discussions regarding stakeholder inclusivity need to be more frequent. Integrated stakeholder involvement requires a transformative approach, especially to overcome internal conflicts in the conservation aspect of endangered wildlife. Affiliated countries of origin that discussed this a lot include Canada, the USA, Germany, Australia, and South Africa, respectively. This discovery further highlights the importance of an analytical structure in characterizing governance arrangements.
