Environmental regulations restricting the use of a natural resource or species often have unintended consequences. One example is prohibitions on international trade in culturally important endangered wildlife. Trade restrictions may artificially increase scarcity and, consequently, value. In China, trigger bouts speculative investment that opposite effect restrictions' intent. We examined how China's economy and cultural history together led to consequences when regulating wildlife trade. markets occupy legal gray area can make ineffectual even counterproductive. extreme cases, prohibiting provoke market booms. Further include potential backlash. China across Global South, are sometimes considered continuation longstanding Western intervention thus not be enforced as strongly generate resentment. This pushback has contributed rising calls decolonialize conservation lead growing alliances between other South countries negotiating future.

More work needs to be done investigate support for regulatory frameworks in China post-Covid-19 and specifically model how perceptions of the relationship between consumption risk diseases combine with other variables influence policies. We report a 2021 quantitative survey conducted China. objectives were measure attitudes towards current ban regulations correlate bans wild-caught farmed wildlife. sample was almost evenly split considering wild animal adequate (45%) or not strict enough (42%). Protection against pandemics protection environment motivators supporting c. 80% respondents. results also indicated strong bans. A majority respondents supported both wildlife, although animals greater most taxa. Furthermore, perceived taxon more prevalent than Our indicate substantial China, opportunities further mitigate environmental risks consumption.

The recent intense interest in conspiratorial thinking is fuelled by the perception that belief conspiracies highly irrational. However, there have been few studies examined associations of conspiracy with a comprehensive battery rational tasks tap both epistemic and instrumental rationality. Comprehensive Assessment Rational Thinking (CART) provides an opportunity to do just because one subtests on CART assesses tendency believe false conspiracies. That subtest part measures presence contaminated mindware—stored declarative knowledge embodies poorly justified beliefs. Converging analyses (N = 747) using 18 four dispositions measured indicated three variables were key predictors thinking: superstitious thinking, actively open-minded probabilistic reasoning. Theoretical consideration these best predictors, predict endorsement true conspiracies, led us rethink classification as mindware move instead towards conception cognitive style.
