Attitudes Toward Wildlife Habitat Preservation in the Management of Private Woodlots in Cape Breton

Attitudes Toward Wildlife Habitat Preservation in the Management of Private Woodlots in Cape Breton Forest management and the preservation of natural resources and wildlife have been of concern in Maritime Canada, where there is a long-standing reliance on primary resources. This study explored the relationships between wildlife conservation and forest management among Cape Breton woodlot owners by examining how ownership factors affect the relative importance of maintaining wildlife on non-industrial, privately owned forested lands. Using data from a 2005 survey, this study examined the post-materialist thesis and used an ordered regression analysis to better understand the relationships among variables such as income, acreage owned, and the important of wildlife preservation. Although income did have a positive relationship with preservation, the relationship was bounded at the upper levels, with respondents earning above a certain level displaying lesser concerns regarding wildlife. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Human Dimensions of Wildlife Taylor & Francis

Abstract

Forest management and the preservation of natural resources and wildlife have been of concern in Maritime Canada, where there is a long-standing reliance on primary resources. This study explored the relationships between wildlife conservation and forest management among Cape Breton woodlot owners by examining how ownership factors affect the relative importance of maintaining wildlife on non-industrial, privately owned forested lands. Using data from a 2005 survey, this study examined the post-materialist thesis and used an ordered regression analysis to better understand the relationships among variables such as income, acreage owned, and the important of wildlife preservation. Although income did have a positive relationship with preservation, the relationship was bounded at the upper levels, with respondents earning above a certain level displaying lesser concerns regarding wildlife.
