benefits from wildlife = improved views & actions toward wildlife, right?
Common assumption for #CommunityBasedConservation, but not many studies that assess these relationships

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

6/6 If shifting attitudes is intended outcome, specificity of benefit types may be more effective (
of which ben. & process of distribution)
More often, a need to change behaviors tied to wildlife threats. No evidence in our study of link between related benefits & beh.

Different types of benefits can influence attitude toward at varying levels of strength and by direction

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

5/6 Limited results to suggest connection b/w perceived cons benefits & meat/part consumption
Those w/ cons benefits just as likely to have consumed meat (illegal in )
This makes sense, as human behavior is complex, including wild meat consumption (see @juliavanvel)
