We've removed the use of the term "stakeholder" generally from our materials following on discussions like this:
https://www.fasttrackimpact.com/post/why-we-shouldn-t-banish-the-word-stakeholder?postId=1a6b9631-56a5-416e-a796-86d6dfb30d87

However it features so prominently in the paper we read on ecological forecasting ethics it can't simply be avoided. It seems appropriate to add a brief discussion of the ethics related this term in the context of the lesson.

Replace use of "stakeholder"

This term is increasingly being reconsidered in light of it's negative
historical usage. See, e.g.,

* https://www.fasttrackimpact.com/post/why-we-shouldn-t-banish-the-word-stakeholder?postId=1a6b9631-56a5-416e-a796-86d6dfb30d87
* https://researchimpact.ca/featured/switching-from-stakeholder/

This replaces the usage for all but the Ethics material, where the word
is actively used throughout the reading. An issue has been opened to
address if more actively there:
