“…Recovery projects attached to a conservation reliance designation may, in some instances, actually erode the value of the species these projects intend to preserve. This notion is paradoxical given that human intervention is a requisite of wildlife management (Peterson et al, 2020). Ethical and cultural dilemmas underpin opposition to wild, human‐dependent red wolves that cannot be swept aside by merely embracing vanguard instruments intended to elevate the value of species, such as payments to encourage coexistence (Dickman et al, 2011; Pettigrew et al, 2012; Treves et al, 2009), wildlife tourism development (Ashley & Roe, 1998), authoritative devices such as species‐specific legislation/listing (e.g., Collen et al, 2013; Trouwborst, 2010), and scientific management (Clark & Rutherford, 2014).…”

“…However, the literature insufficiently explores these relationships. However, previous research suggests that perceptions of nature‐ (e.g., naturally dispersed) versus human‐powered wildlife (e.g., introduced by humans) can be culturally divisive or unpalatable among some segments of the public (Peterson et al, 2020; Serenari et al, 2018). Further, as policy tools are an amalgamation of design and ideology, the final hypothesis joins the aforementioned notion with Scott et al (2005) and Goble et al (2012)'s declaration that conservation reliance comprises concentrated human activities to propagate declining species.…”

Conservation reliance and its influence on support for carnivore recovery

The number of species reliant on consistent human intervention is rising.These species are labeled conservation-reliant, which affords them unique resources to propagate them. A conservation reliance designation has important implications for recovery of large carnivores, particularly where private lands encompass historical ranges. As a policy tool, a conservation reliance designation may be used in conjunction with other popular instruments such as financial incentives or co-governance to promote coexistence between carnivores and key cohorts such as landowners and hunters, who are often vocal dissidents of carnivore recovery, especially wolf recovery projects. Yet, the nascent literature on conservation reliance has yet to address the influence of conservation reliance on landowner or hunter support for carnivore conservation. This paper fills this gap with an analysis of responses from 639 landowners to explore the influence of a conservation reliance designation on intention to coexist with wild red wolves (Canis rufus) in northeast North Carolina. Findings suggest that respondents living in the red wolf recovery zone generally oppose a conservation reliance designation, a critical means to red wolf recovery. Hence, a conservation reliance designation may actually erode the value of some species they intend to preserve. Disapproval of conservation reliance poses new confronts to restoration politics and its diversity of strands, which must be woven into new ways of thinking about the ethical and political aspects of carnivore policy and management.

This systematic review of peer reviewed articles on attitudes towards gray wolves (Canis lupus), shows that attitudes are mainly measured either by mean values of attitudes or by proportional differences in attitudes. This may impact on how attitudes are perceived and interpreted across studies and areas. However, independent of method used, we found that people living in areas where wolves always have existed, are more negative towards wolves compared to people living in areas where there are no wolves, or where wolves have recovered after years of absence. People who express fear, or being directly affected by having wolves, such as farmers and hunters, report more negative attitudes compared to other groups of respondents. For wolf conservation we recommend politicians and management authorities to prepare local societies of the different consequences of living in wolf areas. We recommend using dialogues and conflict management methods to minimize the level of conflicts.
