Abstract Justification for lethal control in conservation is often presumed to be shaped by human attitudes toward different species and whether these species are regarded as native or introduced to a particular system. Conservation researchers and practitioners attitudes often differ in this regard, so different conservation frameworks have evolved such as traditional compositionalist conservation, ‘new’ functionalist conservation, and compassionate conservation. Yet, there is limited research on how the public perceives and values native versus introduced species and thus how public perceptions align with these different and somewhat conflicting definitions of conservation. We conducted an online public survey (N = 811) in Australia to explore how perceptions of species are related to each other and to the approval of lethal control. We focused on native kangaroos, the long-established dingo, and more recently introduced red foxes and wild horses. Perceptions of species' ‘nativeness’ varied and did not always align with policy definitions or reality, with 18.4% and 17.9% considering horses and foxes, respectively, to be native to Australia. The perception that a species was not native and was a pest were linked, and correlated positively with approval for lethal control. The results reveal the conflicting perceptions of conservation among conservationists, the public, and policy definitions. This highlights the difficulty of developing a set of agreed upon conservation goals which would help promote conservation practices supported by stakeholder values.

公众对物种状况和管理的不同看法与相互冲突的保护框架一致

摘要 保护中的致命控制的理由通常被认为是由人类对不同物种的态度以及这些物种是否被视为本地物种或引入特定系统而形成的。保护研究人员和从业者在这方面的态度往往不同,因此出现了不同的保护框架,例如传统的组合保护、“新”功能保护和富有同情心的保护。然而,关于公众如何看待和评价本地物种与引进物种以及公众的看法如何与这些不同且有些冲突的保护定义保持一致的研究有限。我们在澳大利亚进行了一项在线公众调查 (N = 811),以探讨对物种的看法如何相互关联以及与批准致命控制之间的关系。我们专注于本土袋鼠、历史悠久的野狗,以及最近引入的赤狐和野马。对物种“本土性”的看法各不相同,并不总是与政策定义或现实保持一致,分别有 18.4% 和 17.9% 的人认为马和狐狸原产于澳大利亚。认为一个物种不是本地物种并且是害虫的看法是相关的,并且与批准致命控制呈正相关。结果揭示了保护主义者、公众和政策定义之间对保护的相互矛盾的看法。这凸显了制定一套商定的保护目标的难度,这些目标将有助于促进利益相关者价值观支持的保护实践。对物种“本土性”的看法各不相同,并不总是与政策定义或现实保持一致,分别有 18.4% 和 17.9% 的人认为马和狐狸原产于澳大利亚。认为一个物种不是本地物种并且是害虫的看法是相关的,并且与批准致命控制呈正相关。结果揭示了保护主义者、公众和政策定义之间对保护的相互矛盾的看法。这凸显了制定一套商定的保护目标的难度,这些目标将有助于促进利益相关者价值观支持的保护实践。对物种“本土性”的看法各不相同,并不总是与政策定义或现实保持一致,分别有 18.4% 和 17.9% 的人认为马和狐狸原产于澳大利亚。认为一个物种不是本地物种并且是害虫的看法是相关的,并且与批准致命控制呈正相关。结果揭示了保护主义者、公众和政策定义之间对保护的相互矛盾的看法。这凸显了制定一套商定的保护目标的难度,这些目标将有助于促进利益相关者价值观支持的保护实践。认为一个物种不是本地物种并且是害虫的看法是相关的,并且与批准致命控制呈正相关。结果揭示了保护主义者、公众和政策定义之间对保护的相互矛盾的看法。这凸显了制定一套商定的保护目标的困难,这些目标将有助于促进利益相关者价值观支持的保护实践。认为一个物种不是本地物种并且是害虫的看法是相关的,并且与批准致命控制呈正相关。结果揭示了保护主义者、公众和政策定义之间对保护的相互矛盾的看法。这凸显了制定一套商定的保护目标的难度,这些目标将有助于促进利益相关者价值观支持的保护实践。
