Biodiversity and Human Values

17.6K
Human civilization relies on biodiversity in many ways. Sudden changes in species biodiversity result in environmental changes that can modify weather patterns and therefore human civilizations.

What is Conservation Biology?

24.8K
Conservation biology is a scientific field that focuses on the preservation of biodiversity in order to protect ecosystems while meeting the needs of the human population. Humans require properly functioning ecosystems to maintain our supply of natural resources, including food, medicines, and building materials.

Threats to Biodiversity

27.7K
There have been five major extinction events throughout geological history, resulting in the elimination of biodiversity, followed by a rebound of species that adapted to the new conditions. In the current geological epoch, the Holocene, there is a sixth extinction event in progress. This mass extinction has been attributed to human activities and is thus provisionally called the Anthropocene. In 2019 the human population reached 7.7 billion people and is projected to comprise 10 billion by...

Conservation of Declining Populations

What is Biodiversity?

34.7K
Biodiversity describes the variety of living things at multiple organizational levels: genetic, species and ecosystem diversity. Species diversity includes all branches of the evolutionary tree from single-celled prokaryotic organisms, bacteria, and archaea, to the eukaryotic kingdoms: plants; animals; fungi; and protists. To date, there have been about 1.75 million species identified, and new species are discovered every week.

Conservation of Small Populations02:04

Conservation of Small Populations

17.7K
Small population sizes put a species at extreme risk of extinction due to a lack of variation, and a consequent decrease in adaptability. This weakens the chances of survival under pressures such as climate change, competition from other species, or new diseases. Large populations are more likely to survive pressures such as these, as such populations are more likely to harbor individuals that have genetic variants that are adaptive under new stresses. Small populations are much less...

Summary

Societal modernization influences human values, impacting conservation support. Higher modernization correlates with prioritizing wildlife needs (mutualism) over human needs (domination), affecting biodiversity initiatives.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Sociology
  • Conservation Psychology
  • Human Dimensions of Wildlife Management

Background:

  • Understanding public values is crucial for effective conservation strategies.
  • Societal changes, like modernization, may alter human values and subsequent conservation support.
  • Wildlife value orientations (WVOs) shape attitudes and behaviors towards wildlife.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the influence of modernization on WVOs within a multilevel framework.
  • To examine how WVOs influence conservation support at individual and county levels.
  • To explore the role of WVOs in public responses to wolf recovery.

Main Methods:

  • Survey data (n=4183) collected from households in Washington State.
  • Multilevel modeling used to analyze relationships between modernization and WVOs.
  • Case study of wolf (Canis lupis) recovery examined conservation support and social conflict.

Main Results:

  • County-level modernization positively associated with mutualism (prioritizing wildlife needs).
  • County-level modernization negatively associated with domination (prioritizing human needs).
  • Mutualism correlated with reduced social conflict in wolf recovery efforts, though context-dependent.

Conclusions:

  • Societal modernization influences wildlife value orientations, with implications for biodiversity conservation.
  • Contextual factors (e.g., modernization) have an additive impact on individual values.
  • Understanding value systems is key, but additional factors are needed to fully explain pro-conservation behavior.
