Abstract:
The National Park Service (NPS) is authorized by the National Park Service Protection, Interpretation, and Research in System (54 U.S.C. 100701) statutes to collect information used to enhance the management and planning of parks and their resources. The Climate Change Response Program (administered through the Natural Resource Stewardship and Science directorate) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) Human Dimensions Branch (administered through the Natural Resource Program Center within the National Wildlife Refuge System) are partnering to conduct a voluntary, on-site survey to understand park and refuge visitors’ attitudes, perceptions, and beliefs about climate-related topics. The National Park System and the National Wildlife Refuge System protect places, resources, and experiences of importance to the American public. But climate change has serious implications for the protection of landscapes, ecosystems, recreational opportunities, and visitor experiences in parks and refuges. Thus, the NPS and FWS seek to better understand visitors’ understanding and concerns about climate change. The NPS and FWS administer high-quality programs of interpretation and education, and communication about pressing, climate-related topics is increasingly necessary. Audience analysis is important for guiding such efforts. Results of this survey will provide insight into topics, methods, and/or communications media of most interest to park and refuge visitors.
