This paper outlines a theoretically driven approach to identifying strategic audiences for nonformal environmental education and communication efforts, and offers a rationale for determining message content for site-based interpretive programs aimed at modifying the behaviors of two strategic audiences—on-site visitors and local communities. The role each of these audiences might play in resource protection and…

The first principle, selectivity, suggests that the distinctiveness or salience of a label or object will influence which of many elements will…
