Birdwatchers’ attitudes and preferences that influence their decisions to engage in local, national, and international birdwatching trips
Birdwatching tourism has significant economic potential and is a growing form of ecotourism. Birdwatchers throughout the United States have diverse attitudes and motivations, and here we sought to understand how, and why, birdwatchers select birdwatching destinations at local, in-country, and international scales. A questionnaire survey (n = 427 participants) revealed that 98% participate in local birdwatching trips, 96% participate in in-country…
Human development, societal stability and bird capital predict global tourist eBirding activity
Birdwatching tourism is one of the fastest growing sectors within nature‐based tourism. This specialized form of ecotourism has the potential to bring economic and conservation benefits to tropical countries, which house the richest avifaunas, but little is known about the factors driving birdwatchers' decisions about which country to visit when they travel abroad. We assessed the growth of birdwatching tourism from 2010 to 2022 using data from t…
Toward Sustainable Biocultural Ecotourism
Ecotourism plays a vital role in both economic development and depending on the scale, it can also aid environmental conservation. Ecotourism planning often considers culture‐based and nature‐based tourism separately, failing to recognize the synergies between them, with the potential to market locations as biocultural destinations. Using Colombia as a case study, we created metrics of taxonomic biological diversity as measured by vertebrate spec…

Nearly half of Colombian artisan craft plant species lack national and international vulnerability assessments
Humanity has maintained cultural connections with our environments from time immemorial. Plants and artisan crafts are a prime example, as craft purpose, skill, design and species used can vary greatly between communities and the loss of a critical plant species can result in a loss of access to cultural craft practices. To mitigate global biodiversity loss, conservationists are faced with the challenge of assessing species vulnerability to extin…
Increased exposure of Colombian birds to rapidly expanding human footprint
Understanding and mapping anthropogenic threats on species distributions is a crucial task in conservation science to identify priority areas and propose appropriate conservation strategies. Yet, there is a big challenge to quantify how these threats are associated with species distribution patterns at multiple temporal scales. For birds, existing national and global analyses have mostly focused on forest specialists and they tend to consider onl…
