在这篇文章中，我们记录了目前在英国生物多样性政策中正在发生的新的公众参与形式的研究。这涉及到确定这种参与模式的主要参与者，即自然、业余博物学家、专业生物学家和自然资源保护者。本文提出了两个相互交织和相互依赖的视角或“想象”--“制图”和“民族志”--来探讨这种新的参与形式的形成和解释。然而，在这方面，感兴趣的是所涉各方对任何一种观点的前景或背景的看法。所描述的一系列被研究的行为者和过程的转变和运动表明，‘熟知自然’网络的流动性和不稳定性，其稳定性通常被认为是稳定的。在自然界和业余和专业博物学家居住的网络中追踪两个常量--专门知识和交流--可以探索在作为生物多样性行动规划一部分的新的参与性做法中社会/自然包容和排斥的方式。
In this paper we document current research into new forms of public engagement presently taking place in UK biodiversity policy. This involves locating the main participants in such patterns of engagement; namely nature, amateur naturalists, and professional biologists and conservationists. Two interwoven and mutually interdependent perspectives or 'imaginaries'-the 'cartographic' and the 'ethnographic'- are presented in the paper to explore the shaping and interpretation of such new forms of engagement. However, in this context the interest lies in the ways in which either perspective is foregrounded or backgrounded by the different parties involved. The described shifts and movements of a range of actors and processes being studied demonstrate the fluidity and instability of networks of 'knowing nature well', whose stability is often assumed. The tracing of two constants-expertise and exchange-within networks inhabited by nature and by amateur and professional naturalists allows for an exploration of ways in which social/natural inclusions and exclusions occur in new participatory practices designed as part of biodiversity action planning.
