Abstract

Considering diversity of non-material values of nature in environmental management can improve equity outcomes of management actions. But research on non-material values faces many challenges, including (1) how to balance the richness of qualitative analyses with the summative power from quantitative analyses; (2) how to phrase questions that elicit meaningful information without leading study participants; and (3) how to understand the diversity of people’s experiences of nature-related values.
