Online trade of wild game meat
Trade in wild game meat (WGM) is increasing in online markets. However, the distribution of WGM in online trade remains unclear, and our limited knowledge has prevented sustainable WGM consumption that reduces the risks to human health and overcomes the challenges in wildlife management and biodiversity conservation. To explore the trends and challenges of online transactions of WGM, we analyzed the sales data from the online consumer-to-consumer…
A Three-Wave Longitudinal Study of Preschool Children’s Reactions to Interparental Conflict and Their Internalizing and Externalizing Problems in Japan
Exploring interdisciplinary aspects for conservation management
Most conservation policies and management primarily focus on vertebrate animals. However, considering the high demand for invertebrate species in the exotic pet markets, it is crucial to give them great consideration. This research explores Coenobita purpureus , a land hermit crab newly recorded in Taiwan in 2017. We noticed that it has gained popularity in the online pet market recently, despite limited studies confirming its population. To miti…
Long-term monitoring of citizen science
In recent years, the importance of citizen science in biodiversity monitoring has become increasingly evident. Citizen science provides valuable data to understand the dynamic changes in biodiversity across different cities. Although long-term monitoring is crucial for understanding these dynamic changes, previous research has primarily focused on short-term data analysis. Therefore, this study analysed data from the iNaturalist platform for 11 J…
Reducing red-soil runoff from farmland provides heterogeneous economic benefits through coastal ecosystems
Prosocial and financial incentives for biodiversity conservation
Who is likely to have illegal eel products after the market regulations? A best-worst scaling approach
Wildlife overexploitation is a significant challenge in biodiversity conservation. Regulation can enforce consumer behavior change to be biodiversity-friendly but also cause unintended negative impacts. A quantitative investigation of consumer preference for alternative goods is needed before the regulation intervention. This study focused on the case of Japanese eels, whose population was declining due to commercial fishery and overfishing, and …
High monetary valuation of regulating forest ecosystem services in Japan
Effective forest management requires an understanding of socially prioritized forest ecosystem services and their integration into forest management design. Approximately 70% of Japan, our study area, is covered by forests. Therefore, prioritization-based resource allocation play a fundamental role in forest management in Japan. However, there is a lack of clarity regarding which forest ecosystem services the public evaluate the most. Thus, this …
Wait” to promote high sighting rates of wildlife in tourism
Understanding the Market Drivers Behind the Reduced Demand for Ivory Products in Japan
Reducing demand for wildlife products has been recognised as an important global priority. However, consumer demand is a complicated phenomenon involving numerous interacting biological and socio-economic factors, operating at a range of scales and time periods. The demand for elephant ivory is an excellent illustration of the gaps in our current knowledge. Although it is well-documented that Japan is no longer a significant destination consumer …
Flagship species and certification types affect consumer preferences for wildlife-friendly rice labels
Wildlife-friendly food labels are used to reduce information asymmetry and thus enhance agrobiodiversity conservation via marketing mechanisms. The labels make different claims depending on the certification requirements and conservation targets. However, little is known about consumer preferences for the different claims on the labels. Here, we evaluated consumer preferences for wildlife-friendly labels, with a focus on inputand outcome-based cl…
Could Nintendo’s Animal Crossing be a tool for conservation messaging
The current extinction crisis demands worldwide commitment to conservation across all sectors of society. By transcending the traditional disciplinary boundaries, conservationists can reach new audiences to communicate pro‐conservation knowledge, education and awareness messages. There are approximately 2.7 billion video‐gamers worldwide, with millions more joining as a result of global lockdowns. In March 2020, Animal Crossing: New Horizons was …
Relational values help explain green infrastructure preferences
The initial purpose of our study was to understand preferences of stakeholders on green infrastructure for flood control using a discrete choice experiment. However, the results of our study included unexpected findings. According to the utility theory of economics, an inexpensive green infrastructure scenario should have been chosen under ceteris paribus conditions, but our results differed from this expectation. Inconsistent results like ours a…
Socioeconomic Impacts of the Covid-19 Lockdown on the Mental Health and Life Satisfaction of the Japanese Population
Interest Consistency Can Buffer the Effect of Covid-19 Fear on Psychological Distress
What determines the success and failure of environmental crowdfunding
Online crowdfunding can help address the perennial financial shortfalls in environmental conservation and management. Although many online crowdfunding campaigns fail to collect any funds due to not achieving their targets, little is known about what drives success. To address this knowledge gap, we applied a mixed-methods approach to data from 473 successful and failed campaigns hosted on the online crowdfunding platform Readyfor. We found that …
Validation and Psychometric Properties of the Japanese Version of the Fear of Covid-19 Scale Among Adolescents
Mobile phone network data reveal nationwide economic value of coastal tourism under climate change
The technology-driven application of big data is expected to assist policymaking towards sustainable development; however, the relevant literature has not addressed human welfare under climate change, which limits the understanding of climate change impacts on human societies. We present the first application of unique mobile phone network data to evaluate the current nation-wide human welfare of coastal tourism at Japanese beaches and project th…
Understanding island residents’ anxiety about impacts caused by climate change using Best–Worst Scaling
Voluntary Contributions to Hiking Trail Maintenance
Donation is one of the most important solutions to inadequate funding for protected area management; however, there has been little agreement on the measures to be used to encourage visitors to donate. We conducted a field experiment in Daisetsuzan National Park, Japan, to examine the effect on donation behavior of providing information about two types of initial contributions. The first type of contribution is toward the fundraising campaign for…
