	abstract = {The protection of wildlife is an important issue for Turkey. This research examines factors affecting the behavioral commitment of young people, living in the {\c S}anl{\i}urfa province of Turkey, to the protection of the local gazelle species, within the framework of the Value-Belief-Norm Theory. The research was conducted with the participation of high school students (N=472), and it was found that personal norms and the ascription of responsibility are the strongest predictors of behavioral commitment to the protection of the gazelle species. Self-transcendence and conservation value clusters also had a positive impact on behavioral commitment to the protection of the gazelles. The research concludes by making recommendations concerning education programs on the protection of the gazelle species. },
