Integrating local and scientific knowledge for environmental management. (2010, background): “This might involve ensuring that experts engaging in the process have sufficient depth of experience directly relevant to the problem to be addressed (Fazey et al., 2006b).”
Structured elicitation of expert judgments for threatened species assessment: a case study on a continental scale using email (2012, background): “Experts have acquired learning and experience that allows them to provide valuable insight into the behaviour of environmental systems (e.g. Fazey et al. 2006), and they may estimate ‘facts’ such as population sizes, rates of change or life-history parameters, consolidate and synthesise existing…”
Stakeholder mapping for the governance of biosecurity: a literature review (2015, background): “…spreads and can be managed, it is necessary to understand the conditions, processes and sorts of practices that influence how people learn, and through what channels and sources people change their understanding and management practice (Fazey et al. 2006; Armitage et al. 2008; Reed et al. 2011).”
The role of expert opinion in environmental modelling (2012, methodology): “From this perspective, scientific research is a particular form of experience (Fazey et al., 2006), which follows systematic rules as well as personal preferences, but is also constrained by both.”
Using perceptions as evidence to improve conservation and environmental management (2016, background): “Finally, perceptions can be based on knowledge but should not be confused with the “experiential knowledge” of scientific experts or traditional resource users (Fazey et al. 2006).”
Efforts going to the dogs? Evaluating attempts to re-introduce endangered wild dogs in South Africa (2007, background): “Furthermore, as demonstrated here, such evaluations can help integrate expert opinions into a scientific framework, thereby recognizing the importance of experience-based knowledge for conservation (Fazey et al. 2006).”
