Fostering urban nature: How identity dynamics and future envisioning drive biodiversity conservation in cities
This study examines the psychological drivers of biodiversity conservation behaviours in urban and peri-urban settings, focusing on the role of nature experiences, identity dynamics, and future envisioning. A correlational study was conducted with 2052 French urban and peri-urban residents, assessing their (declared) engagement in pro-biodiversity behaviours (both individual and collective) and policy support, and psychological predictors. Results show that nature connectedness and pro-environmental identity dynamics (self- and social-identity) strongly predict pro-biodiversity behaviours. Additionally, the ability to imagine a sustainable future significantly influences biodiversity-supportive behaviours, particularly through perceived desirability and plausibility of future eco-friendly societies. The study offers practical insights for urban planning and environmental communication, suggesting that fostering a sense of environmental social identity and promoting positive future visions can enhance collective action for biodiversity conservation.
期刊介绍:
Biological Conservation is an international leading journal in the discipline of conservation biology. The journal publishes articles spanning a diverse range of fields that contribute to the biological, sociological, and economic dimensions of conservation and natural resource management. The primary aim of Biological Conservation is the publication of high-quality papers that advance the science and practice of conservation, or which demonstrate the application of conservation principles for natural resource management and policy. Therefore it will be of interest to a broad international readership.
