摘要

人们对野生动物的态度以及人类如何看待自身与自然环境的关系,是人类与野生动物互动的重要组成部分。阿根廷北部的伊瓜苏国家公园(INP)每天都有成千上万的游客到访。我们研究了游客对卷尾猴(Sapajus nigritus)的饮食和日常活动模式的了解,以及游客对猴子与人互动原因的看法。2015 年 12 月至 2016 年 2 月期间,我们在游客集中的四个地点进行了问卷调查(N = 601)。我们使用广义线性模型来研究影响游客认知的因素。结果表明,游客对猴子的日常活动和饮食有准确的了解。与猴子的视觉接触和导游在场与更好地了解猴子的日常活动有关,但与了解猴子的饮食习惯无关。50 岁以上拥有大学学位和/或职业的人对饮食的了解程度高于没有大学学位和/或职业的年轻人。我们发现,游客来自的地区是否有猴子作为本地动物或性别对游客的知识水平没有影响。大多数游客认为,猴子接近人类是因为它们在寻找食物。拍照、好奇和喂食猴子是人们接近猴子的最重要原因。我们发现,在认为猴子是因为食物而与人互动方面,男女之间没有差异。我们的研究结果表明,如果我们想改进保护策略,就必须将管理策略的重点从野生动物的行为转移到人类的行为、知识和对野生动物的看法上。

Tourist Knowledge of and Beliefs about Wild Capuchin Monkeys (Sapajus nigritus) at Iguazú National Park, Argentina

Tourist Knowledge of and Beliefs about Wild Capuchin Monkeys (Sapajus nigritus) at Iguazú National Park, Argentina

People's attitudes toward wildlife and how humans perceive themselves in relation to the natural environment are essential components of human-wildlife interactions. Iguazú National Park (INP), in northern Argentina, is visited daily by thousands of tourists. We studied tourists’ knowledge of the diet and daily activity patterns of capuchin monkeys (Sapajus nigritus) and tourists’ beliefs about why monkeys and people interact. We administered a questionnaire (N = 601) at four locations where tourists tend to concentrate between December 2015 and February 2016. We used generalized linear models to examine factors influencing tourists’ knowledge. Our results indicate that tourists had accurate knowledge of the monkeys’ daily activities and diet. Visual contact with monkeys and the presence of a tour guide was linked to better knowledge about daily activities but not about diet. People older than 50 years with a university degree and/or a profession had higher levels of knowledge about diet than younger people without it. We found no effect of whether tourists came from regions with or without monkeys as native fauna or sex on tourists’ levels of knowledge. Most of the tourists believed that monkeys approach people because they are looking for food. Taking photos, curiosity, and feeding monkeys were the most important reasons given for why people approach the monkeys. We found no differences between the sexes in their beliefs about interactions taking place because of food. Our results strengthen the need to move the focus of management strategies from wildlife behavior to human behavior, knowledge, and perceptions about wildlife if we want to improve conservation strategies.

期刊介绍: Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
