Wildlife management is becoming increasingly critical to improving the sustainability of biodiversity and the welfare of human beings. This paper uses affordance as a lens to explore the design of information systems that can assist in managing wildlife in protected areas. Through an action design research (ADR) study with a forest department, we develop and test design principles for a class of wildlife management analytics system (WMAS). We identify the initial design principles, including elements of the action potential, materiality, and boundary condition, and iteratively refine them based on an instantiation of WMAS through two iterations of design and implementation cycles. Through our work, we contribute to design knowledge by abstracting the artefacts, design principles in particular, and the ADR approach by generalising two new activities and corresponding principles when designing analytical models. Our findings can also be used to address a class of similar problems and systems in practice.

野生生物管理对于提高生物多样性的可持续性和人类福祉变得越来越重要。本文以负担能力为视角，探讨了可以帮助管理保护区野生动植物的信息系统的设计。通过与森林部门进行的行动设计研究（ADR）研究，我们为一类野生动物管理分析系统（WMAS）开发并测试了设计原则。我们确定了初始设计原则，包括动作电位，重要性和边界条件的要素，并基于WMAS的实例化，通过两次设计和实施周期的迭代来迭代地完善它们。通过我们的工作，我们通过抽象出人工制品（尤其是设计原则）为设计知识做出了贡献，在设计分析模型时，通过概括两个新的活动和相应的原则来制定ADR方法。我们的发现还可以用于解决实践中的一类类似问题和系统。
