Effective stakeholder involvement is crucial for the management of protected areas, especially when new challenges like adaptation to climate change need to be addressed. Under these circumstances, science-based stakeholder involvement is required. However, there is often a gap between the information produced by science and the need for information from stakeholders. Along with the design and implementation of adaptive management strategies and policies, efforts must be taken to adjust messages about conservation and adaptation issues, to make them easier to understand, relevant and acceptable for stakeholders. In this paper, the experience of closing the gap between scientific information and the user needs of stakeholders in the Biebrza Valley is documented. The requirements of efficient stakeholder dialogue and the raising of awareness are then indicated. We conclude that many attempts to raise awareness of environmental conservation require improvements. Messages often need to be adjusted for different stakeholders and their various perception levels to efficiently anticipate the potential impacts of the changing climate on ecosystem management. We also revealed that the autonomous adaptation measures implemented by stakeholders to mitigate impacts of climatic change often contradict adaptive management planned and implemented by environmental authorities. We conclude that there is a demand for boundary spanners that can build a bridge between complex scientific outputs and stakeholder needs.
有效的利益相关者参与对于保护区管理至关重要，尤其是在需要应对诸如适应气候变化等新挑战时。在这种情况下，需要基于科学的利益相关者参与。然而，科学产生的信息与利益相关者对信息的需求之间往往存在差距。随着适应性管理策略和政策的设计与实施，必须努力调整有关保护和适应问题的信息，使其更易于理解、与利益相关者相关且为他们所接受。本文记录了在别布扎山谷弥合科学信息与利益相关者用户需求之间差距的经验。然后指出了高效利益相关者对话和提高认识的要求。我们得出结论，许多提高环境保护意识的尝试都需要改进。为了有效预测气候变化对生态系统管理的潜在影响，信息通常需要针对不同的利益相关者及其不同的认知水平进行调整。我们还发现，利益相关者为减轻气候变化影响而实施的自主适应措施往往与环境当局规划和实施的适应性管理相矛盾。我们得出结论，需要有能够在复杂的科学成果与利益相关者需求之间架起桥梁的跨界协调者。
