Description

Jingjin Li and five colleagues study what moves Chinese herders to turn grassland ecology into income, selling the value of pasture rather than only livestock. Policy wants those green hills to pay, and herders must act. Working from an ecological-ethics lens, the 2026 study names five factors. They span how herders see their bond with nature, what they know of grassland functions and laws, their pro-environment attitudes, and their husbandry knowledge. Survey data was modelled two ways, with structural equations and with fuzzy-set comparison.

All five factors shaped both intention and behaviour, and intention carried part of the effect. Government policy support strengthened the step from intention to action. Six combinations of conditions sufficed to produce the behaviour, showing there is no single recipe. The authors advise policy that works on beliefs, knowledge, and legal awareness, rather than paying for outcomes alone.
