“…It is possible that some factors not included in the study may be of significant relevance, for example differing motives (Molinario et al., 2019; Rode, Gomez‐Baggethun, & Krause, 2015), politicized environmental identity (Schmitt, Mackay, Droogendyk, & Payne, 2019) or place attachment (Scannell & Gifford, 2010; Vaske & Kobrin, 2001; Xu & Han, 2019; see also Devine‐Wright & Clayton, 2010). Psychological adaptation to climate change and eco‐anxiety over climate change and biodiversity crises may play an important role in boosting individuals’ pro‐nature behaviour.…”

“…Thus the social identity approach explains collective action as resulting from collective identification with a group whose identity and interests are served by that action (van Zomeren, Postmes, & Spears, 2008). For example, just as identification with human categories tends to predict action on behalf of those categories, identifying with the category "nature" predicts engagement in proenvironmental behaviour (Mackay, 2019;Mayer & Frantz, 2004;Nisbett, Zolenski, & Murphy, 2009). When it comes to collective action, however, politicized identities-identification with a group actively working for social change-tend to be stronger and more proximal predictors than identification with a larger social category (Simon & Klandermans, 2001;Simon et al, 1998;.…”

“…Advocacy behaviors (e.g., voting in consideration of biodiversity issues, campaign for local government on an environmental platform) were generally associated with high impact but low plasticity. While there may be multiple barriers to the uptake of environmental activism (Paço & Gouveia Rodrigues, 2016;Schmitt, Mackay, Droogendyk, & Payne, 2019), advocacy behaviors have greater potential to generate transformational change than other categories of behaviors (Amel et al, 2017). While advocacy behaviors may not be appropriate behaviors for governmental departments to promote, NGOs or advocacy groups could drive participation in these types of behaviors.…”

“…NGOs may generate activism and advocacy by highlighting issues and producing resources for those interested in participating but who are unsure how to engage (Hasler, Walters, & White, 2019). Further research that examines how personal, environmental, and social identity influences individual involvement in activism (Schmitt et al, 2019) or identifies key barriers to advocacy (Uusi-Rauva & Heikkurinen, 2013) is needed.…”
