The influence of human values on attitudes and behaviours towards forest conservation

Submitted by Agha Inya on

Human attitudes and behaviours have been linked to the degradation of global biodiversity, particularly forest ecosystems. Indeed, effective conservation actions require that the attitudes and behaviours of affected individuals and communities are taken into account. While several studies have examined how human attitudes and behaviours affect conservation, it is still unclear which, and how, human value orientations influence conservation attitudes and behaviour. This is critical because attitudes and behaviours are underpinned by the complex concept of human values.

The shipping industry, which plays a leading role in world commerce by transporting 90% of goods globally, has the potential to contribute significantly in the battle to adapt to and mitigate the impacts of climate change.
