Using Primates as a Flagship Species in Marketing Campaigns: Effects on Proenvironmental Attitudes and Behavioral Intentions
Get PDFShade coffee plantations grow coffee under a canopy of trees and provide alternative habitats for many bird and primate species, known as agroecosystems, particularly in Latin America. The aim of the current project was to better educate the public about shade plantations and the positive effects they can have on conservation for primates. In addition, marketing tactics such as the presence of a shade plantation certification label and howler monkey images were assessed for their effects on consumer purchasing intentions as well as participant support for biodiversity and sustainability. Participants were recruited through the Department of Psychology’s research system at Central Washington University and through Facebook and Twitter social media platforms. Subjects viewed coffee bags with variations in howler monkey images and a Smithsonian certification label prior to answering questions about their attitudes on biodiversity, sustainability, subjective norming, and behavioral intentions. For university students, an image of a single howler monkey had a significant effect on biodiversity attitudes compared to no howler monkey image but neither the howler monkey image nor the Smithsonian certification label influenced sustainability, subjective norming, or behavioral intentions. The combined prior knowledge of primates, primate habitats, howler monkeys, biodiversity loss, sustainability standards, labels, and shade coffee plantations significantly influenced biodiversity, sustainability, subjective norming, and behavioral intentions in university students. These findings indicate that prior knowledge about a subject is more powerful than acute manipulations or marketing strategies presented to an audience
STAFF PERCEPTIONS OF RESPONSIBILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION OF COGNITIVE ENRICHMENT FOR NON-HUMAN PRIMATES IN ZOO SETTINGS
Get PDFIn zoos, caregivers have considered enrichment as vital for their animal collections’ physical health and development. Since primate species are endangered and continue to decline in numbers in their natural habitat, zoos are steadily becoming the only places we can view and learn about them. In today’s zoos, cognitive enrichment—which falls into overlapping categories of enrichment and does not yet have a universally accepted definition—is either absent or inconsistently offered. Providing challenges to stimulate cognitive well-being has been found to influence the overall welfare of captive primates. Cognitive enrichment is considered very important according to zookeeper surveys but is not provided often for captive animal populations. This study aimed to gather information about who is perceived as the responsible party in providing cognitive to primates enrichment in North American, AZA-accredited zoos. I found that direct-contact staff were perceived as responsible for most tasks regarding cognitive enrichment implementation. I also identified some trends that suggest perceptions about cognitive enrichment might differ based on job classification and amount of professional experience. The results of this study identified that there are differences in perception between roles, and I suspect that this is an issue which needs resolved, as a resolution could result in improved enrichment supply and therefore animal welfare
