ABSTRACT

Using an experimental approach, we analyzed the self-reported changes in farmers’ attitudes toward the African lion (Panthera leo) and a community-based lion conservation program (i.e., the Long Shields Community Guardians), before and after implementation. This program protects livestock and mitigates lion depredation through non-lethal means, with the aim of promoting human-lion coexistence. Results indicated a significant positive shift in attitudes of lions by farmers in the treatment group. This was also the case for farmers in what was recognized as a second unplanned treatment group, called the intermediate group, who learned about the program through communication within their peer network. This article contributed to the growing literature on conservation evaluation and demonstrates that people’s attitudes are valuable for assessing the impact of conservation programs.

评估保护干预对农民对狮子态度的影响

摘要

我们使用实验方法分析了农民对非洲狮(Panthera leo) 和基于社区的狮子保护计划(即 Long Shields Community Guardians),实施前后。该计划通过非致命手段保护牲畜并减轻狮子掠夺,旨在促进人狮共存。结果表明处理组农民对狮子的态度发生了显着的积极转变。对于被认为是第二个计划外处理组(称为中间组)的农民来说,情况也是如此,他们通过同行网络内的交流了解了该计划。这篇文章对保护评估的文献越来越多做出了贡献,并表明人们的态度对于评估保护计划的影响很有价值。
