  • Coded variable associations as positive, negative, not significant, or mixed.
  • Conducted descriptive analysis comparing associations between regions and carnivore families.
  • Found stronger differences in perceptions based on geographic regions than on carnivore families.
  • Personal beliefs and socio-economic factors significantly influence views on carnivores.
  • Identified key areas for improving human-carnivore relations, such as reconnecting humans to nature.
