环武夷山国家公园保护发展带原住民对野生动物肇事的认知及适应意愿影响机制

Research on the influence mechanism of indigenous people′s perceptions of wildlife-caused conflicts on their adaptation intention: a case study of the protection and development belt around Wuyishan National Park

  • 摘要: 国家公园及周边地区原住民对野生动物肇事的认知与适应意愿影响生物多样性保护与国家公园建设成效, 然而当前未见将国家公园及外围地区均纳入考察的研究成果。鉴于此, 本文以环武夷山国家公园保护发展带为研究对象, 通过387份有效问卷, 采用有序多分类Logistic回归分析方法, 探讨原住民对野生动物肇事的认知对其适应意愿的影响机制。结果表明: (1)多数原住民(78.6%)听说或经历过野生动物肇事, 其农作物均不同程度受损, 并且认为野生动物数量增加(91.0%)、野生动物的食物偏好(77.8%)等是动物肇事现象产生的主要原因; (2)面对野生动物肇事现象, 分别有65.9%和76.5%的原住民不愿意参保和支付保护费用, 仅有22.5%和6.2%的原住民愿意参与社区共管和野生动物保护工作; (3)家庭生计特征、过往经历、对管控措施的了解和满意程度等都对原住民的适应意愿有显著影响。在此基础上, 提出维护原住民的利益、实现人与自然和谐共生的政策建议, 以期为自然保护地及外围区域调解野生动物肇事问题提供有益借鉴。

     

    Abstract: The awareness and adaptation willingness of indigenous people in national parks and their surrounding areas towards wildlife-caused conflicts are the key factors determining the effectiveness of biodiversity conservation and the quality of national park construction. However, up to now, there have been no academic achievements that incorporate national parks and their adjacent regions into the same research framework. In response to this research gap, this study selects the Protection and Development Belt Around Wuyishan National Park (hereinafter referred to as Wuyi PDB) as the research object. By distributing and collecting 387 valid questionnaires and using the ordered multi-class logistic regression analysis method, it deeply explores the influence mechanism of indigenous people′s perceptions of wildlife-caused conflicts on their adaptation intention. The research findings are multifaceted. Firstly, 78.6% of the indigenous people have heard of or directly experienced wildlife-caused conflicts and their crops have all suffered varying degrees of damage. Regarding the root causes of these conflicts, as many as 91.0% of the indigenous people believe that the increase in the number of wild animals is the core trigger, while 77.8% of the indigenous people point out that the food preference of wild animals is another major contributing factor. Secondly, in the face of wildlife-caused conflicts, the overall attitude of the indigenous people towards response tends to be negative. Specifically, 65.9% of the indigenous people are unwilling to participate in the wildlife-caused conflicts loss insurance program, and 76.5% of the indigenous people refuse to pay the relevant protection fees. In contrast, only 22.5% of the indigenous people are willing to participate in community co-management work and 6.2% of the indigenous people actively engage in wildlife protection. Thirdly, several factors are confirmed to have a significant impact on the adaptation willingness of indigenous people, including family livelihood characteristics, past experiences related to wild animals, as well as the degree of understanding and satisfaction of indigenous people with current control measures. Based on the above research conclusions, this paper puts forward a series of policy suggestions, aiming to safeguard the core interests of indigenous people and promote harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. Ultimately, it is expected that the research results can provide useful references for resolving wildlife-caused conflicts in nature reserves and their peripheral areas and facilitate more effective ecological protection and management system.
