Crop raiding can result in disease transmission, poor nutrition, stress, and loss of income. Crop raiding also affects conservation because retaliatory events can result in wildlife being harmed. Around Kibale National Park, Uganda, a community action project implemented mitigation strategies that reduced crop raiding. We surveyed 95 of 106 (90%) project participant households to determine if participants perceived their health to have changed due to the project. We conducted open-ended, oral surveys during July and August 2018. Most participants said their overall health had improved (80%) and that their diet (83%), stress (82%), sleep (82%), and exposure to zoonotic diseases (64%) improved. Other benefits included income to pay medical bills and school fees. No participant reported negative effects. We found evidence that reducing crop raiding had positive implications for people’s health and income stability.","PeriodicalId":56068,"journal":{"name":"Human Dimensions of Wildlife","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46166552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our findings revealed that mutualism negatively predicted the perceived severity of the threat from wolves, but positively predicted the perceived efficacy to cope with this threat in both samples. Negative emotions toward the wolf were a strong predictor of intentions to protect human interests against the wolf in both samples, and negatively predicted the intention to protect wolves in the German sample. Religiosity positively predicted the WVO of domination and negatively predicted the mutualism WVO in the Turkish sample, while it played no significant role in the German sample.

In New York State, management agencies are increasing efforts to manage for ESH, but such efforts require support from key stakeholders. We sought to understand the factors influencing such support among hunting license holders, and a subsample specializing in woodcock hunting, who use Wildlife Management Areas. Using structural equation modeling, we found significant direct and indirect relationships between type of hunter, hunting avidity, place attachment, and support for ESHM actions. Our findings suggest that to build support for habitat management, communications should focus on the benefits to the place, and emphasize management actions for wildlife species hunters are pursuing. Increased habitat from this type of management should lead to larger populations of game species, which could increase hunter satisfaction and perhaps increase the number of hunters interested in hunting for these species.","PeriodicalId":56068,"journal":{"name":"Human Dimensions of Wildlife","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45362963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this purpose, our present study aimed to (i) investigate the level of comprehension regarding biological invasions, (ii) assess the ability of responders to discriminate between invasive and native species, and (iii) evaluate the conservation support. Increased awareness of biological invasions on the part of the respondents positively influences the willingness to protect native fish and crayfish species and not their invasive counterparts. Higher identification scores of species by participants significantly decreased the conservation support of invasive species. Female respondents were more willing to protect a species, including invasive ones. Respondents could discriminate between native and invasive fish species to a significantly better extent than between native and invasive crayfish. Without public awareness and citizen-aimed education, we will be unable to conduct sustainable management and prevent further species’ introductions and translocations.","PeriodicalId":56068,"journal":{"name":"Human Dimensions of Wildlife","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46352604","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet little is known about self-imposed regulations among hunters where the state is ineffective. In the following article, I fill in this gap by looking at hunting in Lebanon where the state failed to enforce its own hunting moratorium, and hunters continued their practice. I found that since the end of the civil war (1990), and in the continued absence of state regulation, hunters have developed a code of conduct. This code of conduct centered on forbidding hunters from taking Lebanon’s nonmigratory birds. Hunters described these birds with specific attributes: having a homeland in…, ours/from among us, resident, and threatened with extinction. This code, which pushed hunters to migratory birds and away from nonmigratory birds, signaled hunters’ ethical practice of care for Lebanon’s environment in the absence of a state that bestows legitimacy.","PeriodicalId":56068,"journal":{"name":"Human Dimensions of Wildlife","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44708114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
