Natural resource management programs often document attitudes; they are seen as predictors of actual resource use behavior. I critique this assumption and test several predictions about how demography, knowledge and use-value of a resource correlate with attitudes and behavior in a village in western Uganda. Primarily farmers, these villagers rely on locally-extracted water and wood for daily subsistence. I ask: what are the costs and benefits of using the forest for resources, versus collecting in non-forest areas, and how are these costs and benefits reflected in people’s attitudes, knowledge, self-reported use, and actual observed use of firewood and water? I conducted semi-structured interviews (n=201) and found that the majority of v...
