Eimear Mc Loughlin – Environmental Education Research, 2024
Choreographed encounters with death in Copenhagen Zoo, such as school and public dissections, emphasize the importance of touch and are underpinned by the moral imperative to understand the nature of life and death. Such encounters are framed by zoo educators as contributing to a deeper environmental awareness. Taking the role of dead animals in…

Wildlife-human relations in the United States are predominantly influenced by Euro-American sociocultural dynamics and (neo)colonial legacies. Humans dominate nonhuman animals through violence, suffering, and death. Wildlife management as a practice is becoming increasingly criticized. Disagreement emerges from epistemological and ontological…

Oihana Barrutia; Oier Pedrera; Unai Ortega-Lasuen; José Ramón Díez – Environmental Education Research, 2024
Biodiversity loss is one of the biggest environmental issues in the world today and the biodiversity literacy of citizens can be key to counteracting this. Considering that children can be change agents and actively take part in decision-making from early years, we have assessed the native fauna identification skills of Primary School students…

Per-Arvid Wold; Claudia Melis; Kathrine Bjørgen; Børge Moe; Anna Maria Billing – Cogent Education, 2023
It is crucial that future generations have the knowledge about nature and the willingness to make right decisions for sustainable development, including the halt of global biodiversity loss. Perception of species and the ability to identify wild species (i.e. animals, plants and fungi) are fundamental for the understanding of biodiversity.…

Hayes, Daniel B. – Natural Sciences Education, 2023
A simple exercise of active listening to bird vocalizations in a natural setting was evaluated in an introductory class (FW101L) at Michigan State University. This class is geared toward first- or second-year students and is intended to broaden their skills and knowledge as naturalists. This activity is shown to have a lasting impact on students…

Rocha-Martínez, Nadia; López-Ordaz, Reyes; Rendón-Franco, Emilio; Muñoz-García, Claudia I. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2023
Wildlife veterinarians are necessary for zoonotic diseases and species loss management, and there is a rising interest to enroll at veterinary schools with the wish to work in zoo and wildlife medicine. However, teaching wildlife is challenging due to the difficulty faced by universities to work with wild animal specimens. The aim of the present…

Schulz, John H.; Wilhelm Stanis, Sonja A.; Li, Christine Jie; Morgan, Mark; Webb, Elisabeth B. – Applied Environmental Education and Communication, 2022
Lead poisoning from ingestion of bullet fragments in gut piles and unretrieved deer carcasses continues to cause mortality in bald eagles. To address this issue, the Midwest region of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) initiated an outreach program during 2016-2018 encouraging hunters to voluntarily use nonlead ammunition while deer…

It is essential that concepts surrounding species interactions and their importance for biodiversity conservation are widely taught and understood. Incorporating playfulness into ecological education initiatives can attract more interest in these aspects of ecology. Over the last three decades Pokémon has engaged with millions of people by…

Jayashree George – Art Therapy: Journal of the American Art Therapy Association, 2024
Climate change is a well-documented challenge for human societies where human actions have spurred global warming leading to climate breakdown. Ecological disasters are already affecting the mental health of many people, and this is escalating. By painting elephants, I address "ambiguous" loss and demonstrate the power of art therapy to…

Large carnivore predators can be controversial animals, but sustainable coexistence with humans depends on peoples' tolerance and willingness to support their conservation. We conducted a short-term study on a sample of Slovak schoolchildren (aged 9-15) aimed at changing attitudes toward the grey wolf. The intervention consisted of videos and PPT…

Kamil, Puspita Insan; Rusmadipraja, Ismail Agung; Sirait, Rinda Aunillah; Rusli, Nathan – Applied Environmental Education and Communication, 2023
Throughout history, humans shared habitats and resources with animals, making human-wildlife interactions (HWI), including conflict, inevitable. Understanding issues before mitigating them is one important aspect of conservation. This study assessed 1,613 registrants' data on public perception of HWI through a computer-mediated communication (CMC)…

Lam, Ling-Wai; Kahn, Peter H., Jr.; Weiss, Thea – Environmental Education Research, 2023
Might interacting with relatively wild forms of nature help move our world away from its largely domination-oriented and destructive sensibilities? Toward broaching this question, this study used an Interaction Pattern Approach to model child-nature interaction in a Hong Kong nature program. Observational video data were collected of 54 children…
