摘要: Types, causes, and intensity of human–carnivore interactions are related to historical context, management policy, human perception. We used four rural communities in the American West with varying histories policies assess complexities determine factors influencing individual willingness coexist carnivores. By analyzing focus group interview data from 49 community members, we found that perceptions towards carnivores their were influenced by self-perceived knowledge about carnivores, ability be heard have a voice decisions, economic concerns rather than ecological factors. Willingness adopt adaptive past carnivore experience broader policy frameworks. Our results suggest need better understand how different stakeholders interpret scientific information, what strategies can facilitate effective communicat...
