Perceptions and attitudes of visitors at the Jardín Zoológico Payo Obispo and their influence on the conservation of native wildlife

https://doi.org/10.21829/azm.2020.3612274Palabras clave:
miedo, educación ambiental, protección de fauna silvestre, zoológicos, actitudes negativasResumen
Este estudio se enfocó en la relación entre las percepciones y actitudes de los visitantes del Jardín Zoológico Payo Obispo y el apoyo a la conservación de nueve especies de fauna, nativas del sureste de México. Los resultados de 198 encuestas aplicadas entre noviembre de 2018 y febrero de 2019 muestran que el miedo es el factor más importante para que los visitantes decidan si apoyan la protección de las zarigüeyas y las boas; mientras que para el búho pigmeo ferruginoso y el cocodrilo de Morelet este factor fue la consideración estética (“feo”). Para el resto de las especies, con excepción de la tortuga jicotea, tanto el miedo como la percepción estética influyen directamente en el apoyo a su conservación.
