“…Research suggests that MNEs can be triggered by encounters with wildlife or by spiritual or symbolic experiences (e.g., seeing signs of wildlife or patterns in nature) (McIntosh, 2012). MNEs have been described as leading to increased awareness and sensory perceptions and to intense emotional experiences -often an increased sense of nature connectedness is the result (Zylstra, 2014).…”

“…Empathy towards nature and sense of place is correlated with responsible environmental behaviours (Walker & Chapman, 2003). Development of empathy is facilitated by positive experiences, particularly those that occur over a length of time, and sharing these experiences with others (Kals et al, 1999;McIntosh, 2012). So while there is a strong body of evidence that attributes significant benefits to visitors from even short visits to parks, longer visits that create opportunities for emotionally impactful experiences are more associated with nature connectedness and ultimately more likely to lead to environmentally responsible behaviours.…”

“…Finally, while most federal-listed species occur in southern Canada, most federally governed land occurs in northern Canada. Thus, habitat protection in Canada's biodiversity hotspots requires cooperation across political levels, which is not always forthcoming [62].…”

Protecting habitat of species at risk is critical to their recovery, but can be contentious. For example, protecting species that are locally imperilled but globally common is often thought to distract from protecting globally imperilled species. However, such perceived trade-offs are based on the assumption that threatened groups have little spatial overlap, which is rarely quantified. We compiled range maps of terrestrial species at risk in Canada to assess the geographic overlap of nationally and globally at-risk species with each other, among taxonomic groups, and with protected areas. While many nationally at-risk taxa only occur in Canada at their northern range edge, they are not significantly more peripheral in Canada than globally at-risk species. Further, 56% of hotspots of nationally at-risk taxa are also hotspots of globally at-risk species, undercutting the perceived trade-off in their protection. While strong spatial overlap across threat levels and taxa should facilitate efficient habitat protection, less than 7% of the area in Canada's at-risk hotspots is protected, and two-thirds of nationally and globally at-risk species in Canada have less than 10% of their Canadian range protected. Our results counter the perception that protecting nationally versus globally at-risk species are at odds, and identify critical areas to target as Canada strives to increase its protected areas and promote recovery of species at risk.
