Regional economic Impacts of chronic wasting disease: Evidence from deer hunters survey in Mississippi and Tennessee, USA
Using deer hunter survey data, we estimate how hunting trip-related expenditures may change under hypothetical chronic wasting disease (CWD) prevalence scenarios in Mississippi and Tennessee. Reported reductions in hunting trips are modeled as demand-side shocks in input-output frameworks to project changes in hunting-related economic activity. In Mississippi, expenditure shocks range from 16.2% to 62.4%; in Tennessee, they range from 10.7% to 38…

Factors that determine visitor satisfaction in a lake: A case study from Oklahoma, USA
Since anglers and other non-consumptive visitors make a significant contribution to local economies, their satisfaction plays an important role in sustainable management of fisheries in rural areas. We administered a survey to understand whether, and to what extent, site-specific and demographic factors contribute to visitor satisfaction in a lake experiencing a water crisis. Survey data showed that compared to anglers, non-anglers were generally…

A Perception-Based Assessment of Buffer Zone Programs’ Contribution to Integrated Conservation and Development: Evidence from Protected Areas in Nepal
Protected areas (PA) often adopt buffer zone program to share PA benefit with local people and improve community support for conservation. However, the effectiveness of such policies is still unknown. By utilizing household survey data from six PAs (n = 2,121), we assessed contribution of Nepal's Buffer Zone Program in conservation and sustainable development. While the residents showed limited knowledge about the program's specific details and p…

Factors influencing intention to visit wildlife management areas: A survey of sportspersons and other recreationists in Tennessee
The demand for recreational access to wildlife management areas (WMAs) is relatively under-studied subject in human dimensions of wildlife. Management of public lands such as WMAs is challenging due to the diverse preferences of outdoor recreationists. By using mixed-mode survey data collected from sportspersons and other recreationists in Tennessee, this study analyzed the factors that influence the outdoor recreationists’ intention to visit WMA…

Benefits and challenges of online instruction in agriculture and natural resource education
Many land-grant institutions with agriculture and natural resource programs in the United States offer online courses to meet student demand. The goal of this study was to understand how major educational stakeholders, including instructors and students, perceive the benefits and limitations of online teaching and learning in agriculture and natural resource sciences. This study utilized a mixed mode data collection method, which involved informa…
Residents’ concerns and attitudes regarding wildlife disease management: A case of chronic wasting disease in Tennessee
Most of the literature on the chronic wasting disease (CWD) has focused on the attitudes of deer hunters. Designing public policies to manage CWD requires an understanding of how other stakeholders (landowners, non-hunting public) perceive the risk and react. By surveying a sample of residents in Tennessee, this study compared the concerns, agency trust, and acceptability of management actions among resident groups segmented based on their proxim…

Hunter acceptability of chronic wasting disease (CWD) management actions in Western Tennessee
Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), a neurological disease affecting white-tailed deer has been found in many states including Tennessee. To design effective CWD management programs, stakeholders including state wildlife agencies benefit from understanding hunters’ attitudes and acceptability of alternative management actions. By conducting a mixed-mode survey of hunters, we compared the risk perception and relative acceptability of management actions…

The Roles of Risk Perceptions and Social Trust in Willingness to Pay for Wildlife Reintroduction
Economic valuation can aid decision-makers in justifying the costs of conservation programs like wildlife reintroductions. Factors like stakeholder trust and confidence in conservation professionals for their ability to manage risks may play important roles in determining how local residents support and value the conservation of reintroduced species. This study analyzed data collected from a household survey of residents near an elk restoration z…

Economic contribution of wildlife management areas to local and state economies
Sustaining public support for new and existing protected areas including wildlife management areas (WMA) requires demonstrating whether and how protected areas can bring economic benefit to local stakeholders. This is particularly critical in rural areas where increasing acres in WMAs may lead to reduction in tax revenue available that local governments need for provision of many public services. This study presents an approach to characterize ec…
A travel cost analysis of elk-viewing opportunity generated from an elk reintroduction project in Tennessee
Long-term success of wildlife restoration programs depends on their potential to bring economic benefits to stakeholders. Because of the non-market nature of some benefits (e.g., wildlife viewing), however, demonstrating the economic value of such programs is often challenging. By employing a travel cost model of elk-viewing trips among households around the North Cumberland Wildlife Management Area, Tennessee, this study estimated the net econom…

Demand for Resident Hunting in the Southeastern United States
We modeled hunting demand among resident hunters in the Southeastern United States. Our model revealed that future hunting demand will likely decline in this region. Population growth in the region will increase demand, but structural change in the region's demography (e.g., “browning” and “aging”), along with declining forestland access will decrease hunting demand. The results suggested that programs encouraging younger and non-white population…

Factors Influencing Landowner Interest in Managing Wildlife and Avian Habitat on Private Forestland
This study examined factors related to private forest landowners' interest in managing wildlife and avian habitat on their land. Regression analysis of survey responses from Tennessee Cumberland Plateau landowners indicated that their interests were influenced by demographic factors (e.g., age) and forestland ownership characteristics (e.g., length of land tenure, ownership size). Landowners who had previously enrolled in a government cost-share …

Supply of Private Acreage for Recreational Deer Hunting in Georgia
Understanding factors that influence the supply of private acreage for lease hunting has become increasingly important to sustaining hunting. Improving on existing studies that mostly utilized landowners' responses from contingent surveys, we adopted a different approach to this question by analyzing 2009 market data from Georgia counties. Results from multivariate regression indicate that supply of private lease hunting acres was influenced by: …

When Drivers and Terrapins Collide: Assessing Stakeholder Attitudes Toward Wildlife Management on the Jekyll Island Causeway
Roads are a pervasive fixture on most landscapes and frequently impact wildlife. Management of road effects on wildlife should consider the attitudes and areas of contention among various stakeholders using the road. To inform future management of road impacts on the diamondback terrapin (Malaclemys terrapin), a species of conservation concern, we surveyed stakeholder groups on Jekyll Island, Georgia, USA to measure overall attitudes and value or…

Characterizing the Economic Value and Impacts of Wild Pig Damage on a Rural Economy
Wild pigs are a free-ranging invasive species capable of inflicting significant damage on rural property. Wildlife management personnel may benefit from understanding the negative societal impact of wild pigs. A statewide mail survey of randomly selected landowners was conducted in rural Tennessee counties known to have wild pigs. The economic value of damage caused by wild pigs in 2015 in these counties was estimated at $26.22 million, whereas t…

Motivations and support for regulations: A typology of eastern wild turkey hunters
To determine the diverse motivations of eastern wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) hunters, a self-administered questionnaire was developed and mailed to a sample of 5,000 licensed turkey hunters in Tennessee (response rate = 36%). A cluster analysis yielded three types of respondents in terms of their hunting motivations: social harvesters (44%), experiential harvesters (22%), and social outdoor enthusiasts (34%). Hunters in these segments were t…
