style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>The global
biodiversity crisis requires an engaged citizenry that provides collective
support for public policies and recognizes the consequences of personal
consumption decisions. Understanding the factors that affect personal
engagement in pro-environmental behaviors is essential for the development of
actionable conservation solutions. Zoos and aquariums may be some of the only
places for many people to explore their relations with wild animals and
pro-environmental behaviors. Using a moderated-mediation analysis of a survey
of U.S. zoo and aquarium visitors (N = 3,588), we explored the relationship
between the sense of affective connection with animals and self-reported
engagement in climate change pro-environmental behaviors, and how this
relationship is affected by certainty that climate change is happening, level
of concern about climate change, and perceptions of effectiveness in personally
addressing climate change. We found a significant, directional relationship
between affective sense of connection with animals and self-reported
pro-environmental behaviors. Political inclination within the conservative to
liberal spectrum was not found to moderate the relationship. We conclude that a
personal sense of connection to animals may provide a foundation for
educational and communication strategies to enhance involvement in
pro-environmental actions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
