Ecological restoration efforts are likely to be more successful when project components are informed by relevant stakeholders. However, key stakeholders are often not included in restoration design and deployment. This is largely driven by a lack of practitioner knowledge of and experience with stakeholder relations. However, inclusion of stakeholders across the entire restoration process can be accomplished by practitioners with no formal social science training. Here, we describe several easy (and usually inexpensive) ways to formally cultivate relationships among restoration practitioners, researchers, and stakeholders to improve restoration outcomes. These include: how to identify and work with stakeholders; how to recognize the unique needs and contributions of stakeholder groups, and how to provide information back to stakeholders through outreach. Although how this practice occurs is dependent on restoration context, integrating these approaches more regularly into ecological restoration projects will likely result in more successful, relevant, and community-supported management outcomes.

分享知识以改善生态恢复成果

当相关利益相关者告知项目组成部分时，生态恢复工作可能会更加成功。然而，关键利益相关者通常不包括在恢复设计和部署中。这主要是由于缺乏从业者对利益相关者关系的知识和经验。然而，在整个恢复过程中纳入利益相关者可以由没有接受过正式社会科学培训的从业者完成。在这里，我们描述了几种简单（且通常成本低廉）的方法来正式培养修复从业者、研究人员和利益相关者之间的关系，以改善修复结果。其中包括：如何识别利益相关者并与之合作；如何识别利益相关者群体的独特需求和贡献，以及如何通过外展向利益相关者提供信息。尽管这种做法如何发生取决于恢复环境，但更经常地将这些方法整合到生态恢复项目中可能会产生更成功、相关和社区支持的管理成果。
