⬆️ benefits from wildlife = improved views & actions toward wildlife, right?
Common assumption for #CommunityBasedConservation, but not many studies that assess these relationships
We 👀 at these links using the case of #Endangered reticulated 🦒 in #Kenya 🇰🇪

2/6 There are a # of benefits/costs, tangible/intangible, connected to wildlife conservation
In any community, there’s a diversity of ability/access/motivations to participate in conservation
We 👀 at perceptions of benefits, attitudes toward #giraffe, past 🦒 meat consumption

3/6 We asked:
🦒 Y/N for different types of benefits – two types ($ from tourism & job in cons/tourism) coded as cons benefits
🦒 Attitude toward giraffe on 5p scale
🦒 Most recent time of giraffe meat/part use – re-coded into never/1+ year/within last year

1/6 When we think about #wildlifetrafficking, how often do we think about #women? Urban wildmeat trafficking (UWT) is a unique workforce and identifying the impact that women have within it is necessary for effective conservation interventions.

2/6 Immovable gender expectations regarding the engagement of men and women within UWT may fuel misconceptions regarding women within the industry.
Men are traditionally viewed as holding more aggressive roles while women are seen as holding more “soft” roles such as food prep.

3/6 Using SSO from markets in the DRC, we looked at the involvement of women in UWT across the UWT supply chain. We sought to answer these questions as well as generate a profile for some women involved in UWT.
People & forests have been affecting each other’s ecology & survival for ages. This interaction challenges nature-culture dichotomy based conservation. Ignoring local forest ontology can reinforce inequalities and reproduce colonialism through conservation.1/6 @SCB_SSWG #SSWGTC20
You may be thinking about intervening to change people’s behaviour. Communication is key!
But how do your messages reach people and how does this process influence behavioral outcomes?
We need to think about social networks! (see video below!) 1/6

Social networks are how people communicate🗣️🫂 in everyday life: key process in how conservation messages can gain social meaning and change behaviour. Understand this to improve intervention design! 2/6

Wildlife has been linked to the outbreak of #COVID19 🐾😷
This has led to calls on social media for changes in how #wildlifetrade is managed
How has this link between #wildlife and #COVID__19 changed the #twitter discourse on wildlife trade? 🧐

2/6 Effective conservation policy & intervention requires understanding what drives human behaviour bc #humanwildlifeconflict is often more about humans than wildlife
I explored conflict b/w dingoes & livestock producers in Australia
