• Abstract: Humans and animals have a natural interdependence in nature. Animals play a significant role in maintaining ecological balance and promoting human civilization. With the development of social cognition, human attitudes towards animals have shifted from instrumental rationality to ethical concern. Exploring the perception of animal moral status has become a key to achieving harmonious coexistence among humans, animals, and nature. Current research mostly analyzes relevant influencing factors from the perspectives of animal intrinsic characteristics and social culture, but it fails to fully consider the role of the ecological environment. Therefore, in the future, studies should investigate the impact of natural contact on human perception of animal moral status, the willingness to rescue stray animals, and its psychological mechanism. 人类与动物在自然界中存在天然依存关系，动物对维持生态平衡、推动人类文明意义重大。随着社会认知发展，人类对动物的态度从工具理性转向伦理关怀，探究动物道德地位感知成为实现人、动物、自然和谐共生的关键。现有研究多从动物本体特征与社会文化维度分析相关影响因素，却未充分考虑生态环境的作用，因此未来应研究自然接触对人类动物道德地位感知、救助流浪动物意愿的影响及其心理机制。
