Developing Stakeholder Dynamic Assessment for developing wild animals conservation: an evidence from West New Guinea

Abstract

In managing and organising the development of wild animals for humans, many actors have been involved. The involvement of actors in promoting conservation and all related saving environment has been weak and un-ruled. The objective of this study was mapping, and providing apparent involvement of stakeholders related to actor characteristics, resources used, power-interest created, and contribute to wild animal conservation using the concept of stakeholder and institutions relationships. This research aims to distinctively map and provide apparent involvement of actors or stakeholders concerning their contribution towards wild animal development in West Papua. As many as 15 institutions were interviewed according to the roles and resources of individuals working formally and informally. The parameters collected include the structure, status of law, and types of the organisation and stakeholders' role, effect, importance, threat, and turn-back impact. The data gathered include shared resources, power-interest actors, and interventions-innovations. All data were stored in a Microsoft Excel worksheet and exported to software SNA version 2.5. Research findings showed several significant and strategic characteristic typologies and resources belong to actors for national, local, and grass-root levels. The interest and power embedded into actors determined how intense and severe an actor works in establishing the programs and projects. We inventoried shared resources, duration of the period played by actors, continuity resource roles, power of resources, and intervention needs.
