Comment légitimer l'accession au statut d'expert pour limiter les controverses : étude de cas en biodiversité

Environment in general, and even more so Wildlife management, are fields in which the need and the claim for expertise are both very strong and distributed. This is partly due to the intricate issues resulting from various scientific disciplines. The temptation to seek in science for an objective gu...

description Environment in general, and even more so Wildlife management, are fields in which the need and the claim for expertise are both very strong and distributed. This is partly due to the intricate issues resulting from various scientific disciplines. The temptation to seek in science for an objective guaranty for the rightfulness of a public policy thus significant. This is also a field of high interest of the population and on which it is fairly easy to have an opinion. There are therefore ideal conditions for much controversy on the subject. The stumbling blocks are varied: from the definition of the expert, of the scientist, of the user, of the knowledgeable or the public to the legitimacy of the experts themselves.
