| Summary: | From 2021-23, four publics relevant to and affected by the conservation, illegal take, and persecution of raptors and, specifically, golden eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) in the Intermountain West were interviewed to empirically assess experiences with and perceptions of raptors, and the motivations that potentially influence illegal take and persecution. Given limited access to individual perpetrators to directly understand perceptions and motivations, the four target populations (landowners, rehabilitators, biologists, and law enforcement) represent publics with varied direct and indirect raptor conservation, illegal take, and persecution experiences—they are accessible populations who can provide both firsthand accounts and secondhand characterizations. To that end, the primary research questions were as follows: what are their perceptions of raptors/golden eagles; or, from their perspective, believe are others’ (RQ1), what factors inform their perceptions of raptors and golden eagles; or, from their ... |
