Hi Everyone!  I thought I would share this resource that was just shared with me by a friend/colleague.  The focus is on evaluation and not specifically conservation, but it is more about the language used moving forward and helping us move away from language/terms rooted in colonialism.   I have been a part of discussions with this community here, so I wanted to make sure we all had access to this.   I hope it is useful!

When we were creating our stakeholder engagement manual we also tried to find alternative terms because of the issue with the term stakeholder - but we are yet to find one that is satisfactory. Another group used the term "interested parties" but think it will take a long time to take hold. I found the term "ecosystem actors" a bit jargony/academic. But what do you think?

Thanks very much for sharing Molly, great to see this discussion is wider than just the conservation community.

Hi Molly,

This link is not working for me. 

Btw, glad to know about this term. In your sense, which word should be used against stakeholders?
