Abstract: 1. There exists a wealth of philosophical, sociological and anthropological literature on environmental values; yet, few studies have investigated the values held by conservationists themselves, and how these shape the conservation movement.

“…However, we expect that people will be more likely to become familiar with those complexities if they have direct experience of hunting or experience of life in rural Africa, regardless of how much formal education they have completed. For example, conservationists who are from or who have worked in Africa tend to adopt a more people-centred view on conservation, and to express more favourable views towards trophy hunting [ 6 , 85 ]. However, we found no evidence that perceptions of the acceptability of trophy hunting differed between participants who grew up in a rural location, and might therefore have had more exposure to hunting, compared to those who grew up in an urban location.…”

Increasing geographic and sociodemographic diversity in land management literature will likely increase the range of values and worldviews represented and, therefore, improve conservation impact and outcomes (Luque‐Lora et al, 2022).…”

“…Next steps in this area should focus on how the potential solutions to bridge the gap can be implemented, and by whom this should be done. A priority would be to assess this topic in other, larger, and more diverse groups of scientists and particularly practitioners to ensure all views are considered (Luque‐Lora et al, 2022; Nana et al, 2022). Our work suggests that there is goodwill, communication, and substantial overlap in the motivations of the movement ecologists and conservation practitioners.…”
