Wildlife tourism is growing in popularity, diversity of target species, and type of tours. This presents difficulties for management policy that must balance the complex trade-offs between conservation, animal welfare, and pragmatic concerns for tourist satisfaction and economic value. Here, we provide a widely applicable, multidisciplinary framework to assess the impacts of wildlife tourism focusing on industry tractability, socioeconomic values, and their effects on conservation, animal welfare, and ecosystem impacts. The framework accommodates and quantifies the complexity of factors influencing wildlife tourism management, including direct and indirect effects on target and nontarget species, and identifies priorities for future biological, socioeconomic, and cultural heritage research. When applied to white shark cage-diving as a case study, the output demonstrates the utility of the framework for researchers, managers, and policy makers, and highlights the benefits of undertaking the assessment as an inclusive workshop to facilitate a more multidisciplinary assessment of wildlife tourism industries. The use of a universally applicable assessment framework will enable the identification of relevant factors to account for when managing wildlife tourism, provide an inventory of current knowledge, identify research needs, and semiquantitatively compare categories and target and nontarget species, leading to improved conservation outcomes for species and ecosystems.

评估野生动物旅游业务的可持续性和可接受性的多学科框架

野生动物旅游越来越受欢迎,目标物种越来越多样化,旅游类型也越来越多。这给管理政策带来了困难,管理政策必须在保护、动物福利以及对旅游满意度和经济价值的务实关注之间进行复杂的权衡。在这里,我们提供了一个广泛适用的多学科框架来评估野生动物旅游的影响,重点是行业易处理性、社会经济价值及其对保护、动物福利和生态系统影响的影响。该框架适应并量化影响野生动物旅游管理的因素的复杂性,包括对目标和非目标物种的直接和间接影响,并确定未来生物、社会经济和文化遗产研究的优先事项。当应用于白鲨笼潜水作为案例研究时,成果展示了该框架对研究人员、管理人员和决策者的效用,并强调了将评估作为一个包容性研讨会进行评估的好处,以促进对野生动物旅游业进行更多学科的评估。使用普遍适用的评估框架将能够确定相关因素,以便在管理野生动物旅游时考虑到相关因素,提供当前知识清单,确定研究需求,并半定量比较类别以及目标和非目标物种,从而改善保护成果物种和生态系统。并强调了将评估作为一个包容性研讨会进行评估的好处,以促进对野生动物旅游业的多学科评估。使用普遍适用的评估框架将能够确定相关因素,以便在管理野生动物旅游时考虑到相关因素,提供当前知识清单,确定研究需求,并半定量比较类别以及目标和非目标物种,从而改善保护成果物种和生态系统。并强调了将评估作为一个包容性研讨会进行评估的好处,以促进对野生动物旅游业的多学科评估。使用普遍适用的评估框架将能够确定相关因素,以便在管理野生动物旅游时考虑到相关因素,提供当前知识清单,确定研究需求,并半定量比较类别以及目标和非目标物种,从而改善保护成果物种和生态系统。
