About
Such
as radio soap operas, environmental publishing, web blogs, puppet
shows, door-to-door canvassing, tree sitting, and protest marches. This
is a large category that involves many different efforts to raise
awareness about conservation issues in specific stakeholder groups and
the general public. There is a grey area between general awareness
campaigns which belong in this category versus campaigns to enact
specific legislation which belong in Law and Policy. Many mainstream
conservation organizations do not use the more disruptive and illegal
forms of moral confrontation -- inclusion of them in an effort to make
this taxonomy comprehensive should by no means constitute an
endorsement of them.
