自然保护的公共理由目前依赖于两个支柱：享乐（工具）价值观和道德价值观。然而，这些陈述在实践中似乎没有起到什么激励作用;生物多样性继续下降，生物多样性政策面临着广泛的执行差距。在七个欧盟国家，我们研究了为什么人们在职业义务之外为自然而行动。我们探索105个致力于大自然的演员的动机，详细使用生活史访谈，并追溯到他们的童年。研究结果表明，理解承诺的行动，为自然的关键概念是有意义的。人们为自然而行动，因为自然对他们有意义，与有意义的生活和世界的差异有关。这些美好的价值观（表达有意义的生活）构成了自然保护的第三个重要支柱。重要的政策影响进行了探讨，例如，在公共话语和童年与自然的相遇。
The public justification for nature conservation currently rests on two pillars: hedonic (instrumental) values, and moral values. Yet, these representations appear to do little motivational work in practice; biodiversity continues to decline, and biodiversity policies face a wide implementation gap. In seven EU countries, we studied why people act for nature beyond professional obligations. We explore the motivations of 105 committed actors for nature in detail using life-history interviews, and trace these back to their childhood. Results show that the key concept for understanding committed action for nature is meaningfulness. People act for nature because nature is meaningful to them, connected to a life that makes sense and a difference in the world. These eudemonic values (expressing the meaningful life) constitute a crucial third pillar in the justification of nature conservation. Important policy implications are explored, e.g. with respect to public discourse and the encounter with nature in childhood.
