Environmental conservation
Environmental conservation has a long history within environmental movements both globally and nationally, particularly within the US. While conservation and environmental stewardship activities have occurred over time and across numerous geographies, the version of conservation that came to dominate within the US became a powerful model exported around the globe. Because of this, this chapter focuses heavily on how conservation (and its kin, pre…
The perceived masculinity of meat
Numerous studies demonstrate a link between meat and masculinity, with men being more likely to eat or express a preference for meat. Other studies provide theoretical explanations of linkages between meat and masculinity. However, few studies investigate which groups in society are most likely to perceive meat and meat consumption as “masculine.” Scholars have argued that men will be especially prone to perceive consumption of meat as a key comp…

Linking human behaviour to environmental effects using a case study of urban rodent control
Pest control is common in many land use activities and can affect non‐target species. Our objectives were to evaluate, among chemical rodent control product (rodenticide) users, awareness of non‐target effects on wildlife and willingness to change rodent control behaviour given knowledge of possible local non‐target effects. Approximately half of respondents to a resident survey in California (USA) practised rodent control; of these, approximatel…
Assessing Attitudes Toward Wildlife Ownership in United States–Mexico Borderlands
Public attitudes toward wildlife ownership represent an important and poorly studied component of biodiversity conservation. We began addressing this knowledge gap by interviewing residents along 140 km of the United States side of the farthest southeastern border with Mexico (n = 402). After controlling for demographic variables, urban background (β = 0.13) and land ownership (β = −0.19) predicted attitudes regarding wildlife ownership (p < .05)…

Evaluating Hunter Support for Black Bear Restoration in East Texas
Hunters are an influential interest group in wildlife management. Little is known, however, about variation in attitudes toward species restoration among hunters in regard to either specific hunting interests or restoration of black bear. We surveyed 1,006 East Texas residents to assess hunter support for restoration of black bear populations in East Texas and hunter interest in hunting black bears. Because we defined hunters broadly, our study i…

Evaluating Household-Level Relationships between Environmental Views and Outdoor Recreation
Outdoor recreation may foster positive environmental views among participants and their nonparticipating household members, but little research has addressed this hypothesis at the household level. We address this gap with a case study evaluating both the individual-and household-level relationship between outdoor recreation and environmental views using the new ecological paradigm scale (NEP). Results suggest NEP relates positively to appreciati…
Spatial Distribution of Attitudes Toward Proposed Management Strategies for a Wildlife Recovery
Wildlife managers regularly incorporate human attitudes into decisions involving wildlife conservation. Knowing the spatial distribution of particular attitudes may further assist managers in determining distribution of support of or threats against wildlife species. Using results from a mail survey and SaTScan 4.0, we assessed the spatial distribution (clustering) of attitudes toward several management strategies for the recovery of black bear i…
Resident Attitudes toward Black Bears and Population Recovery in East Texas
A successful species recovery relies on the support of local residents. Our goal was to assess attitudes toward black bears in a location where bears have not existed for several decades. We randomly surveyed East Texas residents to evaluate attitudes toward black bears and a potential bear population recovery. Positive attitudes toward bears were related to sex, age, participation in wildlife-related activities, residential tenure, land ownershi…

Stakeholder attitudes toward farm animal welfare
We developed a survey to measure attitudes toward farm animal welfare, then targeted two US groups considered highly influential in this area: veterinary college faculty members with large animal/food animal emphasis (VCF) and animal science faculty members (ANS). The survey was conducted via e-mail. E-mail addresses were gathered from 58 animal science departments and 27 veterinary college websites. Our respondents consisted of 446 ANS and 157 V…

Environmentalism, New Social Movements, and the New Class
The environmental movement is one of the most successful social movements in recent decades, garnering substantial public support throughout western Europe and the United States. Environmentalism is also considered a key 'new social movement' (NSM), assumed to share fundamental characteristics with other NSMs such as the women's, antinuclear, and peace movements. Using the results of a 1990 cross-national survey of western Europe and the United S…
New Trends in Measuring Environmental Attitudes
Dunlap and Van Liere's New Environmental Paradigm (NEP) Scale, published in 1978, has become a widely used measure of proenvironmental orientation. This article develops a revised NEP Scale designed to improve upon the original one in several respects: (1) It taps a wider range of facets of an ecological worldview, (2) It offers a balanced set of pro- and anti-NEP items, and (3) It avoids outmoded terminology. The new scale, termed the New Ecolog…

Global Concern for the Environment
It is widely assumed that public concern for environmental quality is dependent on affluence, and is therefore stronger in wealthy nations than in poor nations. This assumption is tested via results from a 1992 international survey conducted by the George H. Gallup International Institute that obtained data on a wide range of environmental perceptions and opinions from citizens in 24 economically and geographically diverse nations. Aggregate, nat…
Twenty years of environmental mobilization
The evolution of national environmental organizations over the past two decades is analyzed, with special attention given to the major organizations that engage in lobbying. The rapid growth experienced by the older organizations and the emergence and subsequent growth of several newer organizations are described. An overview of the activities of these national organizations (including a description of their relationships with one another) is giv…
The evolution of the U.S. environmental movement from 1970 to 1990
The twentieth anniversary of Earth Day in 1990 indicated that environmentalism has become an enduring and successful social movement and thus has avoided the rapid demise that many movements experience. However, the U.S. environmental movement has changed considerably since 1970, most notably by becoming a much more diverse movement. The contributions to this volume describe the major strands of environmentalism that have developed over the past …
