Fish and wildlife management relies heavily on biological information in decision-making, which is inadequate for dealing with so many conservation issues that are rooted in competing social values. We argue that this situation begs for increased use of social science in wildlife management. Williams disagrees, arguing that social science has been well integrated into wildlife management for years and is adequately present in the university curricula that educates wildlife management professionals. We believe this argument reflects the same narrow view of social science we describe in our original article and fails to consider the full range of what the diversity of social science disciplines can accomplish, how they can be more effectively employed, and why it is essential to do so.

在野生动物管理中考虑社会科学的需求时要向前看而不是向后看

鱼类和野生动植物的管理在决策过程中高度依赖生物信息，这不足以解决植根于相互竞争的社会价值中的众多保护问题。我们认为，这种情况乞求社会科学在野生动植物管理中的更多使用。威廉姆斯不同意这一观点，认为社会科学已经很好地融入了野生动植物管理领域，并且在教育野生动植物管理专业人士的大学课程中充分体现了这一点。我们认为，这种论点反映了我们在原始文章中所描述的同样狭view的社会科学观点，并且没有考虑社会科学学科的多样性可以完成的全部内容，如何更有效地利用它们以及为什么它对于这样做。
