The Role of Environmental Engagement in Tolerating Urban Bird Problems

Abstract: Since negative attitudes toward wildlife reduce support for biodiversity conservation, understanding the relationship between urban residents' attitudes and their experience with wildlife problems is important. We surveyed households in Wellington City, New Zealand, and modeled the relationship between attitude toward birds, and biodiversity awareness and engagement. Planting trees to attract birds was the only predictor to provide substantial inference for attitude (ω i = 0.873). We then assessed how experien… Show more

“…Meanwhile, ecological citizenship requires active involvement in the environment because it is an effort to maintain and grow connectedness with nature (Soga & Gaston, 2016), including community engagement and empowerment (Blair, Wescott, & Miller, 2016) to achieve meaningful conservation behaviors and outcomes (Shwartz et al, 2014). The increasing rate of urbanization, as pointed out by Charles and Linklater (2015), is one of the many reasons why citizen involvement is important. It also demands a variety of solutions, including the need for 'scientific programs for citizens' with smart device technology (Davis, Taylor, & Martin, 2019;McKinley et al, 2017;Schröter et al, 2017).…”

“…Wilson et al, 1998). Furthermore, recent research shows that the reintroduction of k k to the Wellington urban landscape has been associated with an increased human-wildlife conflict (Charles and Linklater, 2015). One of the interviewees argued that takah (Porphyrio hochstetteri) and rifleman (Acanthisitta chloris) may be also added to the list of selected keystone species.…”

“…However, strategies will vary depending on land cover (Towns et al 2019). Predator control and eradication in urban areas rely heavily on enduring support from resident communities and require specialised ecological understanding (Charles & Linklater 2015;Peltzer et al 2019).…”
