Many conservation interventions are hypothesized to be beneficial for both the environment and people's well-being, but this has rarely been tested rigorously. We examined the effects of adoption or nonadoption of a conservation intervention on 3 dimensions of people's well-being (material, relational, and subjective) over time. We focused on a fisheries bycatch management initiative intended to reduce environmental externalities associated with resource extraction. We collected panel data from fishers (n = 250) in villages with (adopters and nonadopters) and without (control) the conservation intervention 3 times over 2 years. We found no evidence that adoption reduced any of the 3 dimensions of well-being in the local populations affected by the intervention. There were modest improvements in material (t = –1.58) and subjective livelihood well-being (p = 0.04) for adopters relative to nonadopters over time. The variations in well-being experiences (in terms of magnitude of change) among adopters, nonadopters, and controls across the different domains over time affirmed the dynamic and social nature of well-being.

用多维福祉指标评估保护成果

许多保护干预措施被假设为对环境和人类福祉都有益，但这很少经过严格测试。随着时间的推移，我们研究了采用或不采用保护干预措施对人们福祉的 3 个维度（物质、关系和主观）的影响。我们专注于渔业兼捕管理计划，旨在减少与资源开采相关的环境外部性。我们在 2 年内从有（采用者和未采用者）和没有（控制）保护干预的村庄的渔民 ( n = 250)收集面板数据。我们没有发现任何证据表明收养会降低受干预影响的当地人口的三个维度中的任何一个。在材料方面有适度的改进（t = –1.58) 和主观生活幸福感 ( p = 0.04) 的采用者相对于非采用者随着时间的推移。随着时间的推移，不同领域的采用者、非采用者和控制者之间幸福体验的变化（就变化的幅度而言）证实了幸福的动态和社会性质。
