Examining Landowner Attitudes and Behavior Towards Wildlife Management on Private Land in North Carolina

Book Description
In the United States, where private land predominates, most conservation and management efforts have focused on publicly owned land, likely due to conflicting traditions of private property rights, public ownership of wildlife, and state regulation of wildlife. At present, property rights are increasingly juxtaposed with stewardship responsibilities and there is increasing pressure to blend public and private land management. In the southeastern United States, early successional habitats have declined considerably in recent years, amidst rising growth and development rates. In accordance with the recognition of declining wildlife populations associated with early successional habitat and the need for influence over habitat on private land, the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission established the Cooperative Upland Habitat and Enhancement (CURE) Program in August 2000. The program targets private landowners in three select regions of the state (Upper Coastal Plain I, Upper Coastal Plain II, Western Piedmont). Human dimensions survey research was conducted in the three CURE Programming areas in order to: 1) validate either a regional or statewide approach to promoting and implementing the CURE Program; and 2) recommend pertinent programming changes relative to the suggested approach. Survey results confirmed previous research conducted on private landowner attitudes and behavior regarding wildlife, which suggested differences in population subsets warrant tailored approaches to wildlife programming. Regional differences were found among the majority of variables examined in the survey. Regional differences were most pronounced across area (rural vs. urban), occupational (production vs. non production land), income, and land-use variables. Though Coastal Plain landowners did not express as much support for wildlife values or responsibility wildlife as Western Piedmont landowners did, they appeared more likely to participate in CURE Programming, due to familiari.
Wildlife Stewardship And Recreation On Private Lands

Book Description
"The authors examine franchising systems that allow the public and private sectors to work together and consider ways governments and landowners can be good stewards of the public's wildlife using recreation, tax advantages, and cost shares as incentives. Although any enfranchisement system will have problems, the authors show that these problems can be overcome with cooperation and intelligent planning."--BOOK JACKET.
The North American Model of Wildlife Conservation

Book Description
The foremost experts on the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation come together to discuss its role in the rescue, recovery, and future of our wildlife resources. At the end of the nineteenth century, North America suffered a catastrophic loss of wildlife driven by unbridled resource extraction, market hunting, and unrelenting subsistence killing. This crisis led powerful political forces in the United States and Canada to collaborate in the hopes of reversing the process, not merely halting the extinctions but returning wildlife to abundance. While there was great understanding of how to manage wildlife in Europe, where wildlife management was an old, mature profession, Continental methods depended on social values often unacceptable to North Americans. Even Canada, a loyal colony of England, abandoned wildlife management as practiced in the mother country and joined forces with like-minded Americans to develop a revolutionary system of wildlife conservation. In time, and surviving the close scrutiny and hard ongoing debate of open, democratic societies, this series of conservation practices became known as the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation. In this book, editors Shane P. Mahoney and Valerius Geist, both leading authorities on the North American Model, bring together their expert colleagues to provide a comprehensive overview of the origins, achievements, and shortcomings of this highly successful conservation approach. This volume • reviews the emergence of conservation in late nineteenth–early twentieth century North America • provides detailed explorations of the Model's institutions, principles, laws, and policies • places the Model within ecological, cultural, and socioeconomic contexts • describes the many economic, social, and cultural benefits of wildlife restoration and management • addresses the Model's challenges and limitations while pointing to emerging opportunities for increasing inclusivity and optimizing implementation Studying the North American experience offers insight into how institutionalizing policies and laws while incentivizing citizen engagement can result in a resilient framework for conservation. Written for wildlife professionals, researchers, and students, this book explores the factors that helped fashion an enduring conservation system, one that has not only rescued, recovered, and sustainably utilized wildlife for over a century, but that has also advanced a significant economic driver and a greater scientific understanding of wildlife ecology.

Investigating Determinants of Collaboration Between Landowners and Wildlife Agencies for Endangered Species Conservation

ISBN:
Category : Endangered species

Pages : 0
Book Description
Collaboration between and among diverse stakeholders is critical to accomplishing endangered species conservation (ESC) goals because of the large amounts of terrestrial land held in private ownership. To increase ESC collaboration above and beyond the deficiencies perpetuated by status quo command-and-control approaches, agencies have implemented voluntary incentive programs (VIPs) to extrinsically motivate collaboration. However, VIPs are chronically unpopular among different groups of landowners because of deficient social capital (e.g., communication and relationships) and value conflicts with agencies and programs. To bridge the gap between wildlife agencies and landowners, I investigated strategic communication processes (e.g., communications designed to change behavior) that influence ESC behavior through supplementing human and social capital. I also investigated what collaboration looks like from a landowner perspective by segmenting landowners according to their decision-making values and level of perceived interdependence with conservation partners. I used data from a large-N survey (n=886) of private landowners in Houston toad habitat to identify communication content and framing that influenced ESC attitudes and behavioral intention and created typologies of landowners to identify the preferred communication characteristics of different landowner types. In investigating the ideal conditions of collaboration (i.e., value alignment and high shared responsibility), I segmented landowners at Texas Parks and Wildlife Department workshops and conducted qualitative interviews with attendants to uncover their relational expectations. Results of the survey analysis showed that aligning message content and framing with landowner preferences and values can positively influence attitudes and behavioral intention towards ESC and VIPs. I also found that segmenting landowners according to their communication preferences is required to strategically communicate with diverse landowners because landowner types had heterogenous preferences for communication content and mediums. Finally, segmentation and interview results showed that landowner preferred conservation partnerships will support the heritage-related and stewardship values that landowners associate with the land.
