“…Portanto, ao conversar e interagir com os animais, as famílias compartilham ideais, impressões e percepções sobre o zoológico evidenciando as conexões cognitivas e emocionais estabelecidas que, por sua vez, indicam como esses sujeitos constroem sentido a partir da visita. Assim, as conversas podem auxiliar a equipe educativa de zoológicos na escolha de como as mensagens serão transmitidas às famílias (Patrick e Tunnicliffe, 2013;Kubarek et al, 2023).…”

Neste estudo, utilizamos registros audiovisuais para analisar as conversas de seis famílias para compreender como as famílias se engajam com os animais em exibição na Fundação Zoológico de São Paulo. Ao compartilhar informações sobre os animais a partir de experiências anteriores e informações expostas nos painéis, as famílias puderam identificar e interpretar o comportamento exibido pelas espécies. As crianças atuaram como protagonistas conduzindo conversas, escolhendo percurso, lendo e interpretando as informações expostas nos painéis. Os adultos atuaram como facilitadores auxiliando na compreensão de termos científicos. Portanto, os resultados evidenciam que ao conectarem cognitiva e emocionalmente com os animais, as famílias vivenciaram uma experiência social positiva e passível de adquirir novos significados.

“…Accordingly, there has been growing interest in the application of human behavior change approaches as well as human social science theory in this area [10][11][12][13]. Moreover, the value of human social science research in helping zoos fully achieve their mission has been a topic of increasing discussion, particularly as it relates to zoo-based conservation initiatives [14,15].…”

As place-based conservation organizations, zoos are in a central position to support individuals in making small changes in their lives that will support the protection of wildlife and their habitats. This paper describes the secondary analysis of data collected from multi-phase front-end, exploratory evaluation that informed the development of a conservation action campaign in association with a non-profit, urban zoo. In phase one, internal organization staff were invited to attend workshops during which they brainstormed potential conservation actions that they felt were important for the zoo to promote. They identified and ranked 164 unique actions. In phase two, the ranking was used to narrow down the 164 actions to 20 actions which were used to develop a survey administered to visitors who opted in to receiving online surveys from the zoo. The survey asked participants to state their interest in each of the 20 conservation actions. The Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change informed the analysis of responses. Through this approach we identified actions that people were already doing, interested in doing, and not interested in doing. The responses from this survey were used to narrow down the list further to 10 actions used in a survey in phase three. This second survey administered to zoo visitors on grounds asked participants which of the 10 actions they would be most interested in doing, and the perceived barriers and benefits of doing them. This process allowed us to use evidence-based decision making to choose which conservation actions would resonate most with the community for our conservation action campaign. We also were able to identify values visitors held that might influence environmentally friendly behaviors. Visitors who responded to this survey tended to respond in ways that aligned with self-transcendent values. The research suggests that the campaign should focus on habitat restoration and remediation and purchasing wildlife friendly coffee and other products.
