Concerns about the environment began to rise as various issues such as littering increased. Littering is one of the problems involving the environment, and higher education campuses are also actively practising anti-littering to show their efforts. The aim of this study is to test the relationship between environmental concern, attitude and intention on anti-littering using Theory of Planned Behavior Extended Model. A total of 303 students of the Polytechnic Malaysia campus were respondents in this study and the data were analyzed by Structural Equation Modeling using SPSS Amos 24.0 Statistical Packages. Findings show that there is a direct and indirect effect between environmental concern and student’s anti-littering intention. The indirect result shows that attitude towards anti-littering behavior partially mediates the relationship between environmental concern and anti-littering intention. The implications of the research findings and suggestions for the future study are also included in the study.

Participation in an environmental conservation volunteer program provides secondary school students with the opportunity to establish a direct connection to their environment while contributing to the conservation of its natural heritage. The volunteering experiences also offer various forms of benefits to the volunteers as they ride through the challenges and learning experiences. A case study was conducted to explore the experiences of forty-five secondary school students who had volunteered in an environmental conservation volunteer program in the state of Perak. The study utilized focus group discussions to collect data. All discussions were audio-recorded and analyzed thematically using a two-layer constant comparative analysis method, triangulated using observations and reflection notes. Four themes emerged from the analysis to describe the benefits student volunteers gained from their active participation in the volunteer program. The challenges they experienced throughout their participation in the program were also described.

If responsible ecotourists stay in a local homestay, this will benefit local people economically and lead to improved wildlife conservation. This study aims to examine the mediator roles of attitudes between anticipated emotion and intention. It was conducted in Penang National Park, Malaysia, and a stratified sampling method was used for collecting the data. In all, 320 sets of questionnaires were analysed using the SPSS Amos 24.0 Statistical Software Package to test the Structural Equation Modelling. The findings show that economically responsible ecotourist attitudes to staying in local homestays for wildlife conservation partially mediate the relationship between anticipated emotion and intention to stay in a local homestay for wildlife conservation. This study suggests that players in the ecotourism industry should incorporate emotional elements in their marketing strategies to promote local homestays to responsible ecotourists, which would benefit local economies.

Communities living near forest areas have long hunted wildlife for food and other products. Among the communities in Bintulu, Sarawak, traditional hunting and the consumption of wildlife meat are deeply ingrained in their culture. This study identifies the wildlife value orientation among communities in Bintulu, Sarawak, and compares their values with demographic factors, including gender, residency, age, and education level. A survey was developed to identify the communities' value orientation towards hunting, specifically the utilitarian, cultural/traditional, and conservation values. A total of 413 residents were surveyed, including individuals with knowledge of hunting practices and those who consume wildlife products, even if not active hunters themselves. Findings revealed that communities in Bintulu hold multiple values towards wildlife hunting, with a stronger tendency towards conservation values. When the demographic factors were compared, males exhibited stronger utilitarian and cultural/traditional values. Rural residents displayed higher utilitarian and cultural/traditional values, yet they also had stronger conservation values. Communities aged 40 and above displayed higher utilitarian, cultural/traditional, and conservation values. Those with lower levels of education, including primary and no formal education, show stronger conservation values than those with tertiary education. These findings emphasize the diversity of perspectives toward wildlife use and highlight the need for conservation strategies that align with local cultural contexts. Balancing traditional practices with ecological sustainability offers a more inclusive and region-specific approach to wildlife management and conservation policy.
