Naturalistic Observations

15.4K
If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Conservation Biology
  • Ecology

Background:

  • Environmental stewardship encompasses philosophies and actions for natural resource protection, restoration, and sustainable use.
  • It aims to benefit both the environment and society for future generations.
  • Understanding stewardship is crucial for effective conservation and resource management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To map practical actions identified as environmental stewardship in scientific literature.
  • To identify the types of actions, involved actors, influencing factors, and mobilization methods.
  • To provide a comprehensive overview of the concept and its application.

Main Methods:

  • A scoping review was conducted using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.
  • 77 selected articles from environmental science literature were analyzed.
  • Data were mapped regarding actions, outcomes, actors, influencing factors, and mobilization strategies.

Main Results:

  • Environmental stewardship involves diverse actions targeting land and water biodiversity, conducted on private and public lands.
  • A range of actors engage in stewardship, influenced by various underlying behavioral factors.
  • Few studies formally evaluated interventions to enhance stewardship, and the term is not universally embraced, with some viewing it as inconsistent with indigenous worldviews.

Conclusions:

  • A comprehensive understanding of environmental stewardship is fundamental for empowering individuals and evaluating conservation success.
  • Continued practical research is needed to refine and effectively implement stewardship actions.
  • Addressing diverse perspectives, including indigenous worldviews, is essential for broader acceptance and application of environmental stewardship.
