Özet
Thus, this study utilizes both game theory and evolutionary game theory to evaluate environmental management and human-penguin interaction. It is essential for sustainable human and animal practices and environmental preservation to comprehend the polar regions and other environmental decision-makers' conflicts and cooperation. At a Nash equilibrium, players are doing the best they can, given the strategies of the other players, and so they have no incentive to change their strategy. This will enable the creation of policies at the environmental level of the countries while balancing national interests with those of the planet. In cooperative game theory, the Shapley Value is a concept used to ensure that contributions of coalition members are divided fairly, and the Shapley value provides a very realistic way of optimizing costs and gains in coalitions, as well as encouraging coalitions to work towards more sustainable strategies. These ideas further complement contributions from evolutionary game theory, which studies the evolution of strategies using Evolutionarily Stable Strategies (ESS) and Replicator Dynamics (RD). ESS prevents alternative strategies from thriving, thus encouraging stability, whereas RD clarifies how strategies with higher fitness shape the dynamics of a population towards equilibria. This study demonstrates the utility of theoretical game theory frameworks in addressing environmental problems. By aligning individual preferences with global interests, game theory helps find efficient, equitable, and durable solutions to major environmental problems. This framework provides useful guidelines for formulating sustainable ecological governance pathways.
