Social science is becoming increasingly important in conservation, with more studies involving methodologies that collect data from and about people. Conservation science is a normative and applied discipline designed to support and inform management and practice. Poor research practice risks harming participants, researchers, and can leave negative legacies. Often, those at the forefront of field-based research are early-career researchers, many of whom enter their first research experience ill-prepared for the ethical conundrums they may face. Here, we draw on our own experiences as early-career researchers to illuminate how ethical challenges arise during conservation research that involves human participants. Specifically, we discuss ethical review procedures, conflicts of values, and power relations, and provide broad recommendations on how to navigate ethical challenges when they arise during research. We encourage greater engagement with ethical review processes and highlight the pressing need to develop ethical guidelines for conservation research that involves human participants.

保护研究涉及人时的伦理考虑

社会科学在保护中变得越来越重要，越来越多的研究涉及从人类那里收集数据的方法。保护科学是一门规范性和应用性学科，旨在支持和告知管理和实践。糟糕的研究实践可能会伤害参与者、研究人员，并可能留下负面影响。通常，处于实地研究前沿的人是处于职业生涯早期的研究人员，其中许多人在进入他们的第一次研究经历时，对他们可能面临的道德难题准备不足。在这里，我们利用自己作为早期职业研究人员的经验来阐明在涉及人类参与者的保护研究中如何出现伦理挑战。具体来说，我们讨论道德审查程序、价值观冲突和权力关系，并就如何应对研究期间出现的伦理挑战提供广泛的建议。我们鼓励更多地参与伦理审查过程，并强调迫切需要为涉及人类参与者的保护研究制定伦理准则。本文受版权保护。版权所有。
