Response of grassland birds to management in national battlefield parks

Megan Massa, Elizabeth R. Matthews, W. Gregory Shriver, Emily B. Cohen

The Journal of Wildlife Management > 88 > 2 > n/a - n/a

Grassland birds are in steep decline, with population declines reported in 74% of North American grassland species in the past 50 years. Declines are particularly severe in the eastern United States where they are influenced by habitat loss and alteration due to urbanization, forest regrowth, and agricultural intensification. The United States National Park Service maintains civil war battlefields...

The Politics of the British Environment since 1945

Matthew Kelly

The Political Quarterly > 94 > 2 > 208 - 215

This article examines, first, how environmental concerns have shaped British politics since 1945, making the environment an object of governance; and second, how political developments have an environmental history, focussing on the environmental demands of social democracy. It contends that environmentalism should be considered alongside other political ideologies, such as socialism and feminism,...

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in National Parks – diagnosis and forecast of sustainable tourism

Agnieszka Niezgoda, Ewa Markiewicz

Studia Periegetica > 2021 > 33(1) > 9-24

Tourist attractiveness of many areas in Poland is based on exceptional natural values, especially those protected by national parks. Recreation opportunities offered by national parks proved to be important during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the conditions for tourism changed. Many tourists gave up previously planned trips abroad in favour of staying in Poland. This raises the question whether tourists...

Geocoaching: Memories and habits of learning in practices of ecopedagogy

Ria Ann Dunkley, Thomas Aneurin Smith

The Geographical Journal > 185 > 3 > 292 - 302

Ecopedagogy, or place‐based, experiential, and environmental education, has become a critical part of contemporary environmental and geographic learning, in attempts to tackle perceived moral panics around childhood and environmental crisis. Drawing upon research with children taking part in a “summer club” in the Brecon Beacons National Park Authority, Wales, this paper critically explores instances...

Networks of hiking tourist trails in the Krkonoše (Czech Republic) and Peneda-Gerês (Portugal) national parks — comparative analysis

Krzysztof Kołodziejczyk

Journal of Mountain Science > 2019 > 16 > 4 > 725-743

Tourist trails as a linear form of tourist infrastructure fulfill various functions (i.e. recreational, ecological, economic, social, ensuring safety). They are especially important in national parks, where in selected areas tourist penetration is allowed only along specially designed, official routes. A well-planned layout of tourist trails with appropriate facilities can help to limit the negative...

National park visitors' car-use intention: A norm-neutralization model

Hongmei Zhang, Wei Chen, Yechen Zhang, Dimitrios Buhalis, more

Tourism Management > 2018 > 69 > C > 97-108

Reducing private car use is an efficient way to promote the sustainable development of national parks. However, many visitors persist in using their cars, even when they are aware of the environmental damage it causes. This study proposed a norm-neutralization model to investigate why national park visitors persist in car-based trips by partially integrating the theory of planned behavior, the norm-activation...

Tourism versus nature conservation: reconciliation of common interests and objectives — an analysis through Picos de Europa National Park

Iván López, Mercedes Pardo

Journal of Mountain Science > 2018 > 15 > 11 > 2505-2516

Nature tourism and particularly tourism in national parks have acquired significant importance in contemporary societies. Post-Fordist consumers have reevaluated the meanings of ‘nature’ and ‘natural spaces’ and now avoid standardization to seek singularity. Tourism in national parks is a consequence of this tendency and has both positive and negative aspects. The purpose of this sociological research...

Stable isotope ecology of black rhinos (Diceros bicornis) in Kenya

Thure E. Cerling, Samuel A. Andanje, Francis Gakuya, John M. Kariuki, more

Oecologia > 2018 > 187 > 4 > 1095-1105

Stable isotope and elemental ratios in hair are influenced by the environment, including both climate and geology. Stable carbon isotopes can be used to give estimates of the C₄/CAM fraction of diets of herbivorous mammals; stable nitrogen isotopes are related to the local water deficit; strontium isotopes are determined by the local geology. We studied hair from rhinos in Kenya to determine spatial...
