Overview

Systematic review analyzes Wildlife Acceptance Capacity's evolution and gaps in high human development index regions, suggesting improvements for wildlife management.

Key Points

This review investigates the evolution, definitions, and geographical gaps of Wildlife Acceptance Capacity (WAC) in wildlife management.
Conducted a systematic review utilizing the Search, Appraisal, Synthesis, and Analysis approach.
Analyzed peer-reviewed literature from 1988 to present, identifying key phases in WAC research.
Identified two main phases: a dormant phase (1988–2000) and an expansion phase with empirical applications.
Research predominantly occurs in high Human Development Index countries, highlighting geographic concentration.
Calls for enhanced conceptual integration and greater collaboration across regions to improve WAC's global relevance.
