2 Overview Human dimensions of large carnivore re-colonization Study Area Mountain lions in the Adirondacks Goals of the Study Methodology Key results Discussion and Conclusions
3 Human Dimensions of Carnivore Recovery US: Re-colonization, range expansion, reintroduction Human-wildlife conflict Livestock and game species Human safety, esp. in urban areas Political issues/power dynamics Can we use human dimensions research to predict and address conflict before it happens?
4 tudy Area: The Adirondack Park Park established million acres Mosaic of public/private 130,000 residents Temperate/boreal ecosystem Once home to wolves, mountain lion, lynx, moose NYSDEC is natural resource agency
5 Puma concolor in the Adirondack Park Extirpation Sightings Evidence of Dispersal ermont Historical Society Reuters Jenkins & Keal 2003
6 Goals of the Study Assess baselines for: Wildlife Values Orientation Factual knowledge about mountain lions Attitudes about mountain lion re-colonization Risk perception before a population is established or more dispersal occurs
7 Methodology: Adirondack Questionnaire June August survey locations Grocery stores Famers markets Adirondack Loj Old Forge Gun Show Speculator Craft Fair Tupper Lake Woodsmen s Days The Wild Center Adirondack Museum 7-minute questionnaire
8 Methodology: Empire State Poll Survey Research Institute at Cornell University Randomized telephone survey 800 respondents NY state residents Compared management preferences
9 Key results: Adirondack demographics Men: 54.9%, Women: 45.1% Age 50 or older: 69.9% Park Residents: 58% of respondents 62.8% Year-Round Average of 29 years (range 1-80) in the park Visitors: 42% of respondents 77% Visit at least once per year
10 Key results: factual knowledge Knowledge questions Correct responses (%) Did mountain lions live in the Adirondacks in the past? (Yes) Are mountain lion attacks on humans common in areas where mountain lions live close to humans? (No) Are mountain lions found in many countries around the world? (Yes) Do mountain lions prefer to eat livestock, even when wild animals are plentiful? (No) Are mountain lions in danger of becoming extinct worldwide? (No) Do mountain lions kill a large number of pets in areas where mountain lions live near homes with pets? (No) Average score = 51% 10
11 Key results: risk perception Risk Score (Affective measure) Risk Ladder (Cognitive measure) Significant differences: Gender Hunters v. Non-hunters (affective only) Regular hikers v. Nonhikers (cognitive only) Affective Risk Women Men Cognitive Risk Women Men 11
12 Key results: support for restoration 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% "I would like to have mountain lions naturally return to the Adirondacks" "I would like mountain lions to be intentionally released into the Adirondacks" Strongly Agree Agree Neutral Disagree Strongly Disagree 12
13 Key results: support for human action 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Should wildlife management agencies take steps to establish a permanent mountain lion population in the Adirondack Park? Yes No Not Sure 13
14 Key results: knowledge, risk and support Support for Natural Return of Mountain Lions R 2 = 20.8% (R 2 adj = 19.5%) All significant predictors (p<0.05) 14
15 Key results: comparison to ESP "I would like to have mountain lions naturally return to the Adirondacks 100% 80% 60% 40% 20% Adirondack Survey Empire State Poll 0% Strongly Agree Agree Neutral Disagree Strongly Disagree Should wildlife management agencies take steps to establish a permanent mountain lion population in the Adirondack Park? 100% 80% 60% 40% 20% 0% Yes No Not Sure 15
16 Discussion Low overall knowledge Differences in risk perception between men and women Relationship between risk perception, knowledge and support for restoration Differences in support for different levels of intervention Natural re-colonization as most popular Limitations of convenience sampling Limits of hypothetical situation 16
17 Conclusions Need for detailed research on ecological feasibility More studies of non-hypothetical attitudes (US and Canadian) Educational outreach and preparing communities Full survey, analysis and results available in: McGovern, E.
