Abstract In conservation understanding the drivers of behavior and developing robust interventions to promote behavioral change is challenging requires a multifaceted approach. This particularly true for efforts address illegal wildlife use, where pervasive—and sometimes simplistic—narratives often obscure complex realities. We used an indirect questioning approach, unmatched count technique, investigate prevalence crime in communities surrounding 2 national parks Uganda combined scenario...
Immersive media is becoming more mainstream but its role in challenging social norms and individuals' behaviours less understood. We implemented a survey at The Green Planet Augmented Reality Experience, one of the largest immersive experiences United Kingdom, investigating potential nature-themed augmented reality (AR) to encourage sustainability beliefs pro-environmental behaviours, with one-month follow-up. A video condition group was also recruited watch 2D screen-capture AR experience....
Abstract The Black Lives Matter Movement, which gained unprecedented global momentum in mid‐2020, triggered critical reflection on systemic discrimination of disadvantaged groups across many domains society. It prompted us, as early‐career researchers (ECRs) conservation science, to examine our own awareness ongoing injustices within field, the role we play perpetuating or countering these injustices, and how move forward. Colonialist ideologies power dynamics throughout history practice...
Local ecological knowledge (LEK) can provide cost-effective baseline data across large geographical areas, and is increasingly seen as an important source of information for rare cryptic species. However, to date, its use a practical tool prioritising conservation action limited. Pangolins are the world's most heavily trafficked wild mammals all species in decline. The Philippine pangolin (Manis culionensis) Critically Endangered but efforts hindered by lack on where populations still exist...
The illegal wildlife trade represents an urgent conservation challenge, but measuring, understanding, and designing interventions to address it is a complex task. As some of the world's most illegally trafficked wild mammals, pangolins are regularly observed in trade, little known intricacies at local levels, particularly for lesser-known species such as Philippine pangolin ( Manis culionensis ). This research first range-wide study concurrently document use across Palawan Province,...
Summary Baseline data on local status of threatened species are often limited, and alternative information sources such as ecological knowledge (LEK) have potential to provide conservation insights but require critical evaluation. We assess the usefulness LEK generate evidence for Hainan Peacock-pheasant Polyplectron katsumatae , a poorly known island galliform. Interview surveys in rural communities across eight forested landscapes provided new dataset sightings Peacock-pheasants other...
