摘要传统生态知识在野生动物管理中的应用几十年来一直是一个突出的话题。自成立以来，北极理事会(AC)一直强调TEK的重要性及其在工作中的利用。然而，AC中的知识共同生产过程从未被评估过。TEK在多大程度上被有意义地纳入了AC？本研究采用定性内容分析的方法，对咨询委员会各工作组的会议记录、报告、科学报告和评估以及常设与会者发布的报告进行分析，以调查技术和培训是如何被纳入咨询委员会的。这项研究调查了咨询委员会的知识联合生产过程变成了口惠而实不至，并提出了一套建议，这些建议可能会指导TEK项目在知识联合生产过程中。这些建议，包括使用参与性方法、使用土著方法、承认TEK是当地的、应用于政策以及更好的跨文化交流，可能会使TEK更有意义地融入科学项目和野生动物管理政策。
Abstract The utilization of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) in wildlife management has been a prominent topic for several decades. Since its establishment, Arctic Council (AC) has emphasized the importance of TEK and its utilization in its work. Yet, the process of knowledge coproduction in the AC has never been assessed. To what extent has TEK been meaningfully incorporated into the AC? The research uses qualitative content analysis to analyze the AC working groups’ meeting minutes, reports, scientific reports and assessments as well as reports released by Permanent Participants in order to investigate how the TEK has been incorporated into the AC. The study investigates that the process of knowledge coproduction in the AC turned into lip service, and suggests the set of recommendations that could potentially guide the TEK projects in the process of knowledge co-production. These recommendations, including the use of participatory methodology, the use of Indigenous methods, a recognition that TEK is local, application to policy, and better cross-cultural communication, could result in the more meaningful integration of TEK into scientific projects as well as wildlife management policies.
