Future-proofing nature-based tourism in Canada: A horizon scan of emerging challenges
Global climate change, biodiversity loss, health crises, and economic instability converge to form a polycrisis that challenges the sustainable planning, management, and operations of parks, protected, and conserved areas (PPCAs) for biodiversity conservation and nature-based tourism (NBT). Utilising a horizon scan methodology for the first time in the tourism field, this paper engaged experts across Canada to identify and critically examine the …
Visitor outcomes from dark sky tourism: A case study of the Jasper Dark Sky Festival
Dark sky tourism is a growing, but under-studied sector of ecotourism. While some research has examined the economic impacts, regional sustainability, and management of dark sky tourism, researchers know little about tourist experiences and outcomes. This study seeks to determine visitor outcomes (satisfaction, learning, attitudes, and behavior changes) among participants at the Jasper Dark Sky Festival in Alberta, Canada. Visitors were middle-ag…
Interagency collaboration for environmental education: Insights from the Beaver Hills Biosphere, Canada
Environmental education and collaboration are key tools used by biosphere regions/reserves to encourage a harmonious relationship between people and the land. The goal of this paper is to examine collaboration among organizations offering environmental education within the Beaver Hills Biosphere of Alberta, Canada. Based on analyses of 23 semi-structured interviews with environmental educators and planners, we describe current mechanisms of colla…

Minimizing Nature Aversion among Elementary Students during Environmental Education Programs
Nature aversion, a negative human response toward nature, is a challenge for environmental educators seeking to connect students to nature. This field report examines nature aversion observations during elementary school field-trip programs to Miquelon Lake Provincial Park, in Alberta, Canada. Mitigation methods during program delivery included giving information, physically demonstrating safe nature interactions, challenging students, raising en…
Tourism in protected and conserved areas amid the Covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a global impact on the tourism sector. With tourism numbers dramatically reduced, millions of jobs could be lost, and progress made in equality and sustainable economic growth could be rolled back. Widespread reports of dramatic changes to protected and conserved1 area visitation have negative consequences for conservation finances, tourism businesses and the livelihoods of people who supply labour, goods and service…
Motivations, commitment, and turnover of bluebird trail managers
Volunteers support wildlife conservation, but engagement is often limited and short-term. This article examined the demographics, commitment, retention, and turnover among volunteer managers of bluebird nest boxes. Based on a survey, respondents were older, more educated, and more rural than the general population. Volunteers committed large amounts of time and money. Motivations to manage a bluebird trail were conserving bluebirds, experiencing …
“The End of the Ice Age?”: Disappearing World Heritage and the Climate Change Communication Imperative
Rapid environmental change in vulnerable destinations has stimulated a new form of travel termed “last chance tourism” (LCT). Studies have examined the risks of LCT, while leaving potential opportunities within this new tourism market largely underexplored. Results of survey (n = 399) research in Jasper National Park, Canada reveal that a LCT motivation influences decisions to visit this iconic Canadian destination, and suggest that this motivati…

Introduction: Relationships Between Protected Areas and Sustainable Forest Management: Where are We Heading
The relationship between protected areas and forest management has been one that has often been fraught with conflict. New practices in the forest sector and new ecological insights have led more recently to better co-operation in some regions, although it is debatable to what extent cooperative approaches are desirable. In this introduction to the special section on the relationships between protected areas and sustainable forest management, we …
Promoting Sustainable Forest Management Among Stakeholders in the Prince Albert Model Forest, Canada
Model Forests are partnerships for shared decision-making to support social, environmental, and economic sustainability in forest management. Relationships among sustainable forest management partners are often strained, but the Prince Albert Model Forest (PAMF) represents a process of effective stakeholder involvement, cooperative relationships, visionary planning, and regional landscape management. This article seeks to critically examine the h…
Primate Tourism: A Tool for Conservation
Primate tourism is a growing phenomenon, with increasing pressure coming from several directions: the private sector, governments, and conservation agencies. At the same time, some primate sites are working to exclude or severely restrict tourism because of problems that have developed as a result. Indeed, tourism has proven costly to primates due to factors such as disease, stress, social disruption, vulnerability to poachers, and interference w…
Motivations and Benefits of Citizen Scientists Engaged in Purple Martin Migration Research
Citizen science projects involve non-professionals (e.g., community members) actively contributing to authentic scientific research (Dickinson et al., 2012). Participation in these projects can benefit participants, researchers, and local communities (Dickinson & Bonney, 2012). Participants can increase knowledge, develop interest in related environmental issues, connect to the location of research, understand the scientific process better, devel…

Birder Specialization Differences in Conservation Involvement, Demographics, and Motivations
Birders represent a significant component of wildlife users, but birders are not a homogeneous group. This study develops a recreation specialization framework for birders in a non-North American setting, and examines how conservation involvement, demographics, and motivations vary among specialization levels. Using questionnaire data from birders in Doi Inthanon National Park, Thailand, three specialization levels--novice, advanced-active, and a…
Linking Ecotourism and Biodiversity Conservation: A Case Study of Doi Inthanon National Park, Thailand
Ecotourism, or tourism that promotes conservation, does not occur in isolation, but as part of an interdependent system. Based on a case study at Doi Inthanon National Park, Thailand, this study outlines a conceptual framework for such a system, placing biodiversity conservation in the context of other major tourism components, including tourists, ecotourism infrastructure, protected areas and local people. In an interactive way, each component a…
