环境不安全是生物多样性下降和社会冲突的根源和结果。扩大减少不安全感政策的规模面临的一个挑战是，关于当地态度的经验证据极其缺乏。我们设定了三个目标：确定当地人如何对与环境不安全的不同来源有关的风险进行排序;评估对环境不安全、生物多样性开发、自然神话和风险管理偏好的看法;并探讨看法与生物多样性开发之间的关系。2014年，我们对马达加斯加Torotorofotsy保护区的居民进行了采访（N = 88）。风险认知对环境不安全感的认知有中度影响。我们没有发现环境不安全对生物多样性开发的影响。结果提供了一个，如果不是第一次探索当地的非法生物多样性开发和环境安全的看法。当地人对非法生物多样性开发（如猎取狐猴）的风险严重性的看法（总体上较低）可能并不反映决策者的看法（被认为很高）。不和谐是引起注意的关键切入点。
Environmental insecurity is a source and outcome of biodiversity declines and social conflict. One challenge to scaling insecurity reduction policies is that empirical evidence about local attitudes is overwhelmingly missing. We set three objectives: determine how local people rank risk associated with different sources of environmental insecurity; assess perceptions of environmental insecurity, biodiversity exploitation, myths of nature and risk management preferences; and explore relationships between perceptions and biodiversity exploitation. We conducted interviews (N = 88) with residents of Madagascar’s Torotorofotsy Protected Area, 2014. Risk perceptions had a moderate effect on perceptions of environmental insecurity. We found no effects of environmental insecurity on biodiversity exploitation. Results offer one if not the first exploration of local perceptions of illegal biodiversity exploitation and environmental security. Local people’s perception of risk seriousness associated with illegal biodiversity exploitation such as lemur hunting (low overall) may not reflect perceptions of policy-makers (considered to be high). Discord is a key entry point for attention.
