An audience segmentation study of native plant gardening behaviors in the United States
Groups: Disengaged, Potential Adopters, Potential Amplifiers, and Potential Advocates. • About half of participants (48%) may be willing to engage in collective behavior. • Tailored public engagement may strengthen perceptions of gardening behaviors. Audience segmentation can be used to identify target audiences in environmental public engagement and communication, but few studies have used segmentation to study biodiversity conservation behavior…
Who teaches place-based education
Place-based education (PBE) offers teachers a unique opportunity to increase engagement and academic outcomes while strengthening students' connections to their environment and inspiring future conservation. In most instances, classroom teachers must independently choose to implement PBE, such as when discussing topics surrounding wildlife and the environment. Environmental values orientations of teachers may explain teachers' implementation of P…
Education and adaptive capacity
Adaptive capacity is critical for understanding the climate resilience of social-ecological systems. A gendered lens is of particular importance as women are simultaneously one of the most vulnerable social groups to climate change and carry a significant adaptation burden. Individuals’ adaptive capacity is partially determined by learning and cognition, specifically one’s ability to process, assess and react to a changing climate. Formal educati…
The Good Life in the Face of Climate Change
Frameworks for understanding well-being play an important role in designing and evaluating climate change adaptation intervention and policy. To be effective, frameworks must capture the complexities of the social, ecological, and cultural contexts specific to vulnerable social groups. This study explores the concept of well-being from the perspective of pastoral women in Northern Kenya, a social group highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate …

A comparison between human-carnivore conflicts and local community attitudes toward carnivores in Westgate Community Conservancy, Samburu, Kenya
Human-wildlife conflicts are increasing globally, especially involving livestock depredation by carnivores. To understand the relationship between predation frequency and attitudes toward predators, researchers quantified livestock losses for four carnivore species—African wild dog, spotted hyena, leopard, and lion—as well as attitudes toward these carnivores in Westgate Community Conservancy, Samburu, Kenya. Methods included a three-year data co…
Metrics and outcomes of conservation education
We conducted a systematic literature review to analyze evaluations of conservation education programs on a global scale in order to better understand (1) temporal and spatial trends in conservation education program evaluations over the last 25 years, (2) patterns in the types of conservation-related issues addressed through these programs, (3) metrics that indicate effectiveness of conservation education programs, and (4) methods and timeframes …
Giving women a voice on decision-making about water
In more than 75% of households around the world in which water needs are fulfilled by retrieving water, women are typically tasked with this critical responsibility. This is true in Kenya, and the challenges women in rural areas of the country face are compounded by a lack of reasonable access to safe water by 56.5% of rural households. More than 25% of the population must travel at least 30 minutes to collect water, and 70% of all diseases in th…
The Influence of Human–Elephant Conflict on Electric Fence Management and Perception Among Different Rural Communities in Laikipia County, Kenya
Electrified fences are commonly used in Kenya to prevent human–elephant conflict. This research addressed the social perceptions of electrified wildlife fences by assessing community-level individual views of the fences and the willingness of community members’ involvement in fence management. In Laikipia County, Kenya, a population sample of people in two communities living near an electrified fencing and experiencing different levels of human–e…
Qualitative Measures of Wildlife Value Orientations with a Diverse Population in New York City
This article reports on the development and implementation of a qualitative methodology to measure wildlife value orientations (WVOs) in a focus group setting, with the ultimate goal of developing a technique to help with cross-cultural assessments of WVOs. Information provided by such assessments can assist conservation organizations in understanding and meeting the needs of an increasingly diverse population. The technique was administered to L…
A comparison of traditional plant knowledge between students and herders in northern Kenya
BACKGROUND: The Samburu region of northern Kenya is undergoing significant change, driven by factors including greater value on formal education, improvements in infrastructure and development, a shift from community to private ownership of land, increased sedentary lifestyles and global climate change. One outcome of these changes are an increasingly greater likelihood for adolescent boys to be enrolled in school rather than herding livestock on…
Youth Experiences with Wildlife During a Period of Significant Cultural Change in Laikipia, Kenya
In Laikipia, Kenya, youth are increasingly likely to attend school and less likely to spend time in the landscape as pastoralists when compared with preceding generations. A possible unintended outcome of this transition is a change in how youth experience and relate to wildlife. This article addressed the research question: How do youth in Laikipia experience wildlife? When asked to share an essay about a personal experience with wildlife, most …

Legitimizing Local Perspectives in Conservation through Community-Based Research
In the remote region of Samburu East District in north-central Kenya, applied community-based participatory action research (CBPAR) may provide a way forward for realizing conservation goals. Past evaluations of community-based approaches have yielded mixed results, and no standardized method has emerged for how to best conduct such research with marginalized populations living in and around conservation areas. In this article, photovoice is eval…
Pastoralists' Perceptions of the Endangered Grevy's Zebra in Kenya
The Grevy's zebra (Equus grevyi) is an endangered equid found in northern Kenya and Ethiopia on rangelands often shared by pastoral populations. The Grevy's zebra population has experienced a significant decline in the past 40 years from approximately 15,000 individuals to around 2,000–5,000. For this trend to be reversed, local people that share the pasture-land with Grevy's zebra must be involved. This study sought to identify the beliefs and l…
Strategies for Communicating About Climate Change Impacts on Public Lands
Natural resource agencies in the United States have a huge responsibility to protect and manage public lands as well as effectively communicate with diverse publics about land management issues. One of these issues is how best to deal with the impacts of climate change on our nation’s treasured landscapes. Fortunately, a recent surge of research and theorizing in the social sciences on communication about climate change can inform natural resourc…
Identifying the motivations of environmental volunteers
The natural environment benefits greatly from the work of volunteers. However, little is known as to why people are willing to volunteer their time to such programs. The study participants were 401 volunteers from six natural resource organizations. The study identified and assessed motivations of volunteers within the conservation and natural resources arena. The results suggest that there are many volunteer motivations, although ‘helping the en…
