Can nature-based experiences affect an
individual’s connection to nature without
teaching conservation and what is the
“stickiness” of such experiences?
• Deborah Robertson-Andersson1, Judy Mann-Lang2, Monica
Maroun3;4, Shana Mian1 & Christa Panos4
JEEP JOCKEYS: THE REAL ICONS OF
CONSERVATION
• Deborah Robertson-Andersson1, Judy Mann-Lang2, Monica
Maroun3;4, Shana Mian1 & Christa Panos4
• Current biodiversity conservation programs can be
effective but biodiversity is still decreasing
How do we teach conservation?
• A positive human-nature relationship is essential for countering
today’s environmental problems. Frantz et al. (2005) and Nisbet et al. (2009)
• We call this relationship “connectedness”. Schultz (2002a)
• Connectedness to nature defined as “a self-perceived relationship of
interconnection between the self and the natural world”. Mayer & Frantz, (2004)
and Schultz et al. (2004)
How do we measure connectedness?
• The New Environmental Paradigm (NEP) scale (Dunlap et al. 2000; Schultz 2002a)
• The Inclusion of nature in the self (INS) scale (Schultz, 2000; 2001; 2002)
• The Implicit Associations Test (IAT) (Greenwald et al. 1998; Schultz et al 2004)
• The Connectedness to Nature Scale (CNS) Mayer & Frantz, (2004)
• The Love and Care for Nature (LCN) scale (Perkins, 2010).
• Researchers propose that if you can increase people’s
connectedness they are more likely to engage in a range of
conservation behaviours (Schultz, 2001; Mayer & Frantz 2004; Gosling & Williams 2010).
How do we expand the sense of self to
include the natural environment?

" We went into more details
about certain trees helping
me be more interested in
plant life"
"I learnt to appreciate
nature and it also gave me
the enthusiasm to be a part
of conservation"
"staff"
" Without the guide it was a kind of
walk, with the guide it was a
learning experience"
"I am not a fan of the out doors....I
wasn't keen on the trip, but I have
done a 180 degree turn and really
enjoyed myself"
"I feel so much cooler
because I am filled with fun
facts thanks to the Bhejane
staff"
" He made a difference by
explaining not only the big animals
but the small insects, birds and
trees, this made me a lot more
interested into not just the big
animals but the small ones"
How can we improve our measurement of
the experience?
Measuring knowledge is the traditional approach
BUT
Knowledge doesn’t lead to an increase in connectedness
How can we improve our measurement of
the experience?
• International Scales require adaptation for them to
work in an African Context
• We need more sensitive scales in order to measure
attitudes and values
The value of this study
It’s the first time we are trying to measure objectively the impact
of an non formal environmental experience in South Africa
We learnt how not to design a questionnaire!
The issue of long term change needs to be addressed
The importance of psychographic pre survey data (INS > 4)
Learnt to challenge our assumptions – a nature based experience
is less effective with higher incoming INS
Thank you!

Can nature-based experiences affect an individual's connection to nature without teaching conservation and what is the "stickiness" of such experiences?

  • 1. Can nature-based experiences affect an individual’s connection to nature without teaching conservation and what is the “stickiness” of such experiences? • Deborah Robertson-Andersson1, Judy Mann-Lang2, Monica Maroun3;4, Shana Mian1 & Christa Panos4

  • 3. • Current biodiversity conservation programs can be effective but biodiversity is still decreasing
  • 4. How do we teach conservation? • A positive human-nature relationship is essential for countering today’s environmental problems. Frantz et al. (2005) and Nisbet et al. (2009) • We call this relationship “connectedness”. Schultz (2002a) • Connectedness to nature defined as “a self-perceived relationship of interconnection between the self and the natural world”. Mayer & Frantz, (2004) and Schultz et al. (2004)
  • 5. How do we measure connectedness? • The New Environmental Paradigm (NEP) scale (Dunlap et al. 2000; Schultz 2002a) • The Inclusion of nature in the self (INS) scale (Schultz, 2000; 2001; 2002) • The Implicit Associations Test (IAT) (Greenwald et al. 1998; Schultz et al 2004) • The Connectedness to Nature Scale (CNS) Mayer & Frantz, (2004) • The Love and Care for Nature (LCN) scale (Perkins, 2010).
  • 6. • Researchers propose that if you can increase people’s connectedness they are more likely to engage in a range of conservation behaviours (Schultz, 2001; Mayer & Frantz 2004; Gosling & Williams 2010).

  • 8. How do we expand the sense of self to include the natural environment? • Most literature recommends experiential learning in nature

  • 13. " We went into more details about certain trees helping me be more interested in plant life" "I learnt to appreciate nature and it also gave me the enthusiasm to be a part of conservation" "staff" " Without the guide it was a kind of walk, with the guide it was a learning experience" "I am not a fan of the out doors....I wasn't keen on the trip, but I have done a 180 degree turn and really enjoyed myself" "I feel so much cooler because I am filled with fun facts thanks to the Bhejane staff" " He made a difference by explaining not only the big animals but the small insects, birds and trees, this made me a lot more interested into not just the big animals but the small ones"
  • 14. How can we improve our measurement of the experience? Measuring knowledge is the traditional approach BUT Knowledge doesn’t lead to an increase in connectedness
  • 15. How can we improve our measurement of the experience? • International Scales require adaptation for them to work in an African Context • We need more sensitive scales in order to measure attitudes and values
  • 16. The value of this study It’s the first time we are trying to measure objectively the impact of an non formal environmental experience in South Africa We learnt how not to design a questionnaire! The issue of long term change needs to be addressed The importance of psychographic pre survey data (INS > 4) Learnt to challenge our assumptions – a nature based experience is less effective with higher incoming INS
