Conservation Psychology by Susan Clayton

People are inseparable from natural ecosystems, and understanding how people think about, experience, and interact with nature is crucial for promoting environmental sustainability as well as human well-being.
Professional ecologists and conservationists have not always tried to understand the position of local communities because of differences in worldviewsThe book Conservation Psychology can help them find a way out of such situations, as the authors reveal the psychological mechanisms of such conflicts. Anna Kuzemko, Bulletin of the Eurasian Dry Grassland Group, January 2017
