“Making the wolffish personal”: exploring the role of tourism for wildlife equity and biocultural conservation
本研究通过挪威Saltstraumen的案例，分析旅游参与者与狼鱼的关系演变，探讨这种关系如何影响海洋保护区的可持续管理和野生动物公平，对旅游和环保从业者有参考价值。
Promoting an alternative understanding of sustainability based on interspecies equity has become increasingly important in the tourism sector. We present an analysis of interspecies relationships to more deeply inform biocultural conservation interventions and the sustainable management of marine tourism destinations. By applying the critical biocultural identity framework to a qualitative case study, we explore how relationships between tourism actors and non-human animals evolve and how these relationships shape ideas about the conservation, management and sustainable development of the tourism destination and marine protected area. Focusing on the coastal tourism destination of Saltstraumen (Norway), we have conducted interviews and observations over a period of three years to follow the development of the relationship between the Atlantic wolffish and the diving community. Identifying the types of interactions with the wolffish and the resulting knowledge and values that are shaped through these interactions and interspecies networks, this study sheds light on the development of human-wolffish relationships and the influence on decision-making processes, policy formulation, and multispecies community cohesion that has reshaped the tourism system toward wildlife equity and conservation.
