The Pride campaign is shown to have causal impact (arrows) on each of the behavior change stages that people pass through on their way to the adoption of a new behavior.
Figure 4 - Stages of Behavior Change
The Pride social marketing campaign is shown to have causal impact on each of the behavior change stages that youth and the general public pass through on their way to the adoption of a new behavior, reporting invasive/nuisance species, to prevent the incursion of new invasive species and spread to other islands in Micronesia. GDAWR will seek partners such as GuamCell and GTA to assist in procuring resources to support later stages in the theory-of-change model, the reporting of invasive species to authorities.
The Pride social marketing campaign is shown to have a causal impact on each of the behavior change stages that youth and the general public pass through on their way to the adoption of a new behavior, increasing and maintaining protected native habitat, to increase the current amount of land available for conservation efforts such as reintroduction of native species. GDAWR will seek to improve relations between landowners, especially the military, to procure access and possible acquisition of properties with suitable habitat for conservation efforts.
The Pride social marketing campaign is shown to have a causal impact on each of the behavior change stages that youth and the general public pass through on their way to adoption of a new behavior, spaying/neutering pets, to decrease the amounts of predatory species on Guam. The Pride campaign is shown to be responsible for building ownership within the community, while Rare's partners, GAIN and local veterinarians, will assist by providing resources and the capability to spay/neuter pets.
The Pride social marketing campaign is shown to have a causal impact on each of the behavior change stages that youth and the general public pass through on their way to adoption of a new behavior, not releasing unwanted pets in the wild, to decrease the amount of feral animals and ultimately the amount of predatory species in the wild. The Pride campaign is shown to be responsible for building ownership within the community, while Rare's partners, GAIN and local veterinarians, will assist by providing supplemental information regarding native species.
The Pride social marketing campaign is shown to have a causal impact on each of the behavior change stages that youth and the general public pass through on their way to adoption of a new behavior, eradicating nuisance species, to decrease the amount of predatory species and prey items in the wild especially in current restoration projects such as “Ko’ko’ for Cocos”. The Pride campaign is shown to be responsible for building ownership within the community, while Rare's partners, USDA – APHIS/WS, are responsible for implementing and monitoring the rodent eradication program.
10.0 Key barrier removal partner
Due to the overwhelming complexity of socioeconomic factors surrounding the prevention and spread of invasive, feral and nuisance species the following collaborations may benefit and facilitate behavior change:
-
The use of a mediation center/facilitator, such as Inafa’ Maloek, will help the public overcome its mistrust of government.
-
Working with NGOs, such as the Marianas Audubon Society and The Nature Conservancy, will help to overcome the public’s mistrust of government. However, these groups usually aggravated causes in the past.
-
Partnering with a Teacher / Education Authority will aid the building of a curriculum to be used during school visits that incorporate both the objectives of DAWR and the school system.
-
Collaboration with Guam Animals in Need (GAIN) will maximize visibility for the shelter and its activities such as its spaying/neutering clinics.
-
The enthusiastic youth of Marine Mania can possibly help to catalyze the formation of other youth groups with a terrestrial emphasis.
-
Professors at the University of Guam and Guam Community College can be utilized to lend support and credibility to GDAWR efforts. Creating ownership in students will be advantageous.
-
Cushing Zoo has native species on exhibit. By collaborating with them to create signage and informational brochures, this may be a vehicle to increase awareness in both the local and tourist community.
-
Collaboration with veterinary clinics and animal hospitals to increase the knowledge regarding the effects of feral/nuisance wildlife on native species will support native wildlife restoration efforts.
-
Increase vigilance of Cocos Island vendors and employees will aid in keeping Cocos Island biosecure – especially after rodent eradication.
-
Contracting USDA will help DAWR reach conservation objectives by providing the necessary staff and resources to complete projects such as rodent eradication of Cocos Island.
-
Partnering with local businesses and autonomous agencies – GuamCell, GTA, and Guam Visitor’s Bureau will help set an example for the community by in creating visible ownership and pride in native species.
-
Communicating with groups such as GISAC (Guam Invasive Species Advisory Council), PILN (Pacific Island Learning Network) and MIC (Micronesians in Conservation) can create synergistic relationships that can further the research, funding and outreach capabilities.
11.0 Campaign design
The data collected and the results chains outlined on page 60-61 of this plan were used to refine the original “objective themes” (see page 32-33) ensuring they are aligned with key targets, that they are “SMART” and to see if GDAWR is in fact impacting people to move along the behavior change continuum. If attained, these objectives will, through shifting the knowledge, attitudes and practice of key resource user groups (as well as their peers and influencers), create a constituency supportive of reporting invasive species, pet control and nuisance wildlife (rodent) eradication and comply with biosecurity protocols. The activities linked to these objectives will provide the knowledge needed and support required, thereby promoting the benefits of changed behavior while removing the barriers for doing so. It will move key target groups along the behavior change continuum from pre-contemplative (not knowing or thinking about the issue) through contemplative (thinking about changed behavior and weighing the options) to action. Action in this campaign will be active support for native species through the reporting of invasive species to authorities, spaying/neutering and control of pets, the eradication of nuisance species, as well as mitigating the possible routes of rodent reinvasion through self compliance with biosecurity guidelines.
Thus, the aim of the “Pride” campaign will be to simultaneously move the two key audience segments along the behavior change continuum by building awareness of critical issues. These include: the reasons for lack of biodiversity on Guam, the importance of offshore island such as Cocos Island, the environmental and anthropogenic threats posed by invasive species, how rodents can reach Cocos Island, and how the increase of invasive, feral, and nuisance species might be stopped simply, safely and effectively. If the campaign is successful it will inspire action in youth and the general public - invasive species will be reported to authorities, pet owners will control their pets, and biosecurity will be maintained to preserve the remaining native biodiversity on Guam and offshore islands to eventually create habitat for future reintroductions of captive-bred species.
