“…Such behavior may be expected particularly if a landowners’ income is dependent on the actualized loggings. There is earlier evidence of Finnish forest owners intentionally taking actions to harm flying squirrel ( Pteromys volans ) (Jokinen et al 2018 ), so it is also possible that some owners of candidate wooded mires executed intentional pre-emptive loggings.…”

“…Landowners of areas hosting endangered species or habitats can have negative attitudes towards conservation actions for several reasons. For instance, land use restrictions to protect biodiversity can be considered as insulting property rights, being unfair actions, or causing economic harm (e.g., Jackson-Smith et al 2005 ; Kabii and Horwitz 2006 ; Kamal et al 2015 ; Blicharska et al 2016 ; Olive 2016 ; Jokinen et al 2018 ).…”

“…Such behavior is here referred to as pre-emptive behavior. Landowners can manage their lands in ways that harm threatened species directly (Brook et al 2003 ; Jokinen et al 2018 ). Occurrences of threatened species can also lead to shortened rotation times of forest loggings or to an increased probability of forests becoming logged on nearby sites, thereby preventing the species from dispersing into new areas (Lueck and Michael 2003 ; Zhang 2004 ).…”

Landowners can intentionally impair biodiversity values occurring on their land to pre-empt biodiversity protection. This often leads to significant negative effects on biodiversity. We studied whether landowners in Finland engaged in pre-emptive loggings after they were notified that their wooded mires are candidate sites for a mire protection program. After the notification, harvesting rates of the candidate wooded mires were significantly lower compared to harvesting rates of similar but non-candidate wooded mires. Annual and monthly harvesting rates indicated that notifying landowners of the conservation potential did not launch systematic pre-emptive logging behavior. Nevertheless, part of the candidate wooded mires were logged, so some landowners place more weight on other values than the biodiversity ones. Pre-emptive behavior has been observed in other studies suggesting that many country- or system-specific factors such as cultural background or level of compensation can affect landowners’ behavior.

“…Literature data indicates that it is common to see differences between genders when it comes to the level of perception of forests and benefits derived from them. For Jokinen et al (2018) and Allendorf and Yang (2017), as women have less knowledge and understanding of forest management and a smaller participation in decision-making within communities, they generally have a lower perception. Thus, the present study brings an atypical case, because the perception was the same among men and women.…”

Environmental perception in traditional communities: a study in Soure Marine Extractive Reserve, Pará, Brazil

et al. 2020

The Soure Marine Extractive Reserve, located in the Marajó Archipelago, was created to protect its biodiversity and guarantee the sustainability of its ecosystems. Despite of it, local environmental problems have increased. In this sense, this study aimed to quantify the level of environmental perception, in four categories, of communities settled within this conservation unit, based on a score classification (from 1 to 10). To this end, questionnaires were created with the structure of a 5-point Likert scale and applied to the participants. The results were quantified and revealed high scores (above 9) in the four categories analyzed, indicating a high level of perception. Perception was associated with age, schooling and number of people in the household. As a high level of perception was found, it is recommended that the awareness-raising actions carried out by the managing body of the reserve be maintained in order to preserve this knowledge.

“…While wild animals generally avoid direct encounters with humans, there are reports of human injuries and deaths due to depredations worldwide. Local people sometimes perceive wildlife and/or wildlife conservation plans as threats to their health, tranquillity, recreation, income, livestock, crops, lands, properties, buildings, and other assets; e.g., [ 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ]. Wildlife conservation can sometimes become a disputed issue at a regional or international level, for example, whale hunting caused friction between Australia and Japan [ 19 ].…”

Human response to wildlife management is widespread, encompassing both human–wildlife conflicts and wildlife conservation, in different places and at different times. As people become increasingly aware of the importance of wildlife to biological and environmental sustainability, newspapers can be important sources of information, especially in developing countries, such as Iran. Three major Iranian daily newspapers were analysed for news items related to wildlife. Over the 7-year study period, 434 articles presented environmental news, of which 61 items referred to wildlife. Each wildlife item was recorded in terms of message, contributor, spatiality, and allocated space. Structure query language (SQL) was used to analyse relationships between the 915 fields/entries. Wildlife items were characterised by public awareness (51%), columnist contributions (46%), and local spatiality (43%). Most items (82%) were allocated space of less than half a page. Of the categorised topics, those of combined endangered land (30%) and marine (5%) species exceeded items on global conservation (24%). Results highlighted the minimal number and small space devoted to wildlife news items and their concentrations (67%) in one of the three sampled newspapers. Although nature has historically been important in Iranian culture, current attitudes to wildlife, as reflected in newspaper coverage, do not seem to mirror these traditional perspectives. Given the widespread distribution of newspapers and their roles (i.e., as sources of information and opinion influencers), global wildlife conservation issues would benefit from much greater coverage in the daily press.
