由于许多原因，野生动物保护在美国正在失去阵地。净效应是物种和栖息地的减少。为了应对这一趋势，野生动物保护机构（即，所有与野生动物有关的习俗、做法、组织和机构、政策和法律都必须适应当代社会生态条件。可以通过反映当前对野生动物治理期望的明确准则来支持适应。我们将公众信任思想和良好治理的联合收割机元素结合起来，制定了一套广泛的野生动物治理原则。这些原则是对生态和社会负责的野生动物保护的指导。这些建议解决了长期存在的系统性问题，如果获得通过，将使该机构符合现代对公共自然资源治理的期望。实施将需要改变野生动物保护机构的价值观、目标和程序。这些变化可能是困难的，但承诺改善野生动物保护的结果和增加对保护的支持。我们介绍了与这些原则相关的挑战和机遇，并鼓励科学家，从业者和美国野生动物保护的其他领导者之间进行对话。这些原则本身不会使保护的进程变得更好，但可能是发生这种变化所必需的。
Wildlife conservation is losing ground in the U.S. for many reasons. The net effect is declines in species and habitat. To address this trend, the wildlife conservation institution (i.e., all customs, practices, organizations and agencies, policies, and laws with respect to wildlife) must adapt to contemporary social-ecological conditions. Adaptation could be supported by clear guidelines reflecting contemporary expectations for wildlife governance. We combine elements of public trust thinking and good governance to produce a broad set of wildlife governance principles. These principles represent guidance for ecologically and socially responsible wildlife conservation. They address persistent, systemic problems and, if adopted, will bring the institution into line with modern expectations for governance of public natural resources. Implementation will require changes in values, objectives, and processes of the wildlife conservation institution. These changes may be difficult, but promise improved wildlife conservation outcomes and increased support for conservation. We introduce challenges and opportunities associated with the principles, and encourage dialogue about them among scientists, practitioners, and other leaders in U.S. wildlife conservation. The principles alone will not change the course of conservation for the better, but may be necessary for such change to occur.
