Protected Natural Areas as a Setting for Changing Environmental Attitudes
Protected natural areas (PNAs) can serve many functions, including species protection, natural resource preservation, and community engagement. Some PNAs employ environmental education (EE) programs to involve local communities in environmental issues, and improve public attitudes and intentions toward the environment. This study sought to evaluate one such education program in Italy, investigating how it affected aspects of students' environmental perspectives, and whether those effects were transmitted to family members.
