dc.description.abstract | In the current Anthropocene Era, with numerous
escalating challenges for biodiversity conservation, the
inclusion of the social dimension into management
decisions regarding wildlife and protected areas is critical
to their success. By conducting 354 questionnaires in a
Mediterranean protected area (the Biosphere Reserve of
Bardenas Reales, Northern Spain), we aim to determine
sociodemographic factors influencing knowledge levels
and perceptions of species and functional groups as,
emblematic and threatened. We found that hunters and
animal husbandry workers knew more species than other
social actors. Additionally, the perception of functional
groups as threatened or emblematic differed between social
actor groups, with statistically significant associations
between perceptions and the characteristics of
respondents. Interestingly, we found that although elusive
steppe species are globally considered as endangered, these
species were the least known by all social actor groups and
rarely perceived as emblematic. This research is a novel
approach and provides a better understanding of how
perceptions can facilitate conservation decisions,
particularly regarding endangered species. | es |
