Messaging in Wildlife Protection Ballot Initiatives (11/13/25)

Join us for the second webinar in our ethics in wildlife conservation series co-hosted by the SCBNA Policy Committee and PAN Works! As public values towards wildlife shift in the United States, community members are turning towards ballot initiatives to make their views on wildlife heard. In Colorado, for example, a ballot initiative to reintroduce wolves passed in 2020, while an initiative to ban hunting and trapping of bobcats, mountain lions, and lynx failed in 2024. In this talk, Dr. Becky Niemiec will share her research on the factors influencing public support of carnivore protection ballot initiatives. Through the application of moral foundations theory and combining data from in-person interviews of voters and online messaging experiments, Dr. Niemiec demonstrates the arguments and messaging swaying voters on carnivore protection issues.
