QUESTIONNAIRE

The Mont Tremblant National park is facing familiarization problems with wildlife (notably with the meso-carnivores). It is not uncommon to receive complaints about animals entering campers' accommodation (tents and trailers), and we also observed visitors engaging in risky behavior with fauna (ex. feeding wildlife).
CONTEXT
The objective of this Master degree project is to assess the knowledge, perception and behaviour of the Mont Tremblant National park’ visitors with regard to large carnivores and meso-carnivores.
OBJECTIVE
By filling the questionnaire above, you will help the PNMT to modify and adapt its education campaigns to reduce human-wildlife conflicts and interactions, and promote healthy coexistence. Thank you!
