| Abstract (English): |
Wildlife trade is driving species extinctions globally, and the Asian Turtle Crisis is posing a threat in China as turtle species are collected from the wild and sold at high prices. Local ecological knowledge is increasingly used to determine the status of threatened taxa, but there is little understanding of wider relationships between indices of ecological knowledge and other conservation‐relevant factors such as market values of traded species. To assess whether local people's awareness of potentially traded turtles might indicate direct interaction with trade in these species, we conducted 185 interviews in rural villages around Bawangling National Nature Reserve, Hainan, China. Interviewees were asked to free‐list native turtles to determine species salience and then were shown photographs of the species to assess recognition and knowledge. We investigated relationships between species' salience, whether species were recognized, named and/or perceived to be traded by more people, and independently obtained market prices. Indices of species awareness varied among interviewees, but all species were reported to be traded by at least some people. There was no correlation between indices of awareness and market value, indicating that more valuable species were no more likely to be well known. However, the perception that turtles are traded irrespective of species is a concern for conservation because all species are then vulnerable to exploitation. Our results highlight that local communities should not be assumed to have accurate knowledge of traded species, with implications for the management of wildlife trade and conservation at the community level.

| Abstract (Chinese): |
野生动物贸易正在全球范围内加速物种的灭绝，人们从野外猎捕并以高价出售龟鳖类所导致的"亚洲龟类危机"已对中国的物种构成威胁。本地居民的生态知识已被广泛地用于评估受胁类群的生存状态，但对生态知识与交易物种的市场价值等其他保护因素之间的相互关系却缺乏研究。为评估当地人对潜在交易物种的意识是否可能与龟鳖类的直接贸易有关系，我们在中国海南霸王岭国家级自然保护区附近的农村进行了185次访谈。受访者被要求随意说出本地龟鳖物种名以确定各物种的突出性(事物抓取人们注意力的能力)，然后向受访者展示该物种的照片以评估其识别能力和相关知识。我们研究物种之间突出性的差异，物种是否被更多的人认识、说出物种名或被认为是交易对象，并独立获得了这些物种的市场价格。结果表明，受访者的物种意识指数各不相同，但据他们所说，所有物种都至少被一些人交易过。意识指数和市场价值之间不存在显著的相关性，表明受访者可能不认识其他更有价值的物种。然而，龟鳖类被不区分物种地交易是一个值得关注的保护问题，因为这样容易导致所有物种都被过度利用。这些研究结果表明，不应假定当地社区对交易的龟鳖物种都有准确的了解，否则会对社区层面的野生动物贸易管理和保护产生不利的影响。 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
